I was pleasantly surprised when I was upgraded to a King Suite without even asking. The room was very clean and comfortable, perfect for my stay during the state fair. The only downside was that one of the check-in staff members wasn't too friendly, but they quickly rectified the situation by reducing our room rate or offering to move us to another room. The whole staff was friendly and accommodating overall.

I was thrilled with this hotel's convenience; it's right off the highway and close to everything, making it a great choice. The rooms were spotlessly clean and comfy, plus I got a surprise upgrade to a king suite without even asking. However, a member of the check-in staff wasn't very pleasant, which was the only downside of the service.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! From the beautiful lake views to the unexpected upgrade to a king suite, there were many highlights. The friendly staff made my experience even better, although there was a little hiccup at check-in. The dining experience was top-notch, especially with the Irish soda bread. However, the room for late risers could have been a bit longer. Overall, it was a great value for the money.
