4/10 Fair

Unfinished cell-like room but good shower.
Sadly our room was pretty much like a cell. Virtually no natural light, (a tiny window that required curtain to be kept shut cos faced all the cars parking) and the wall was painted with an under-coat but not completed. You do not expect the room to be mid renovation when you are not getting a discounted price. Seriously! I must say the shower is wonderful though.

Very small rooms
This is a beautiful resort next to a stunning lake. The downfall is that their regular hotel rooms are about the size of a king bed, and they are furnished with king beds, so there is absolutely NO room to maneuver. We joked that you had to step outside to change your mind. The property was in the process of updating their rooms, so there was a delay for our room. They comped us some drinks while we waited. Unfortunately, our room still smelled like new paint and we had to ask for another room. There was some issues with getting a new room, but we did. Same size, but no smell. We attempted to do laundry and even after 3 sessions in the dryer, our clothes were no where near dry, had to iron, blow dry, hang, and hope. It's a beautiful resort, and Aaron Ivory took great care of us, but they do still have some work to do.

Good location, great food, poor room
The food and location of the property was excellent, massive shoutout and thanks to Aaron for making the extra effort in the kitchen! When arriving in the room however, there was quite a bit of dirt and hair that wasn’t cleaned, additionally the saftey bar attaching the latch was not secure at all

Great location, just average experience.
The location is lovely, but for a resort like this the experience was poor. Arrived an hour after checkin time and our room was still not ready, and then when trying to get some cutlery to our room, was told this couldn't be done - I'd have to come to the restaurant and pick it up myself. Not an easy feat for someone with a knee injury.

Good room - comfortable big king bed, lovely shower. Room was small and wifi was spotty. But nice for a one night stay. The hotel rooms are very small for the tariff and any more than 1 night, I would recommend a larger room. But pleasant staff, easy checkin and quiet location.
