    Used condom under our 'clean' bed in our 'clean' room we just got in. We paid extra for the 'upgraded' room they said.
    JD B.

    WARNING: PICTURE OF USED CONDOM UNDER OUR BED. This is our second time here. We love being able to rent a boat and we love that there's a pool and restaurant/bar. But both our room last yr and this yr were disgusting. This yr... booked a room. Hoped that it would be better. When we got to the hotel we asked if we could have a lakeside room. They said yes, but had to up-charge me $60. We get into our 'upgraded room'... Spiderwebs and a used condom under the bed. Told the front desk. Front Desk says there's no Manager. Which I believe. The only adult on staff I saw all weekend was the guy working the breakfast buffet. The Front Desk told me I should call the Manager on Monday. They handed me a business card. The so called Manager's name on the card is Jessica Atchison. There are 2 phone numbers on the card. Neither one works... busy signal on both. I doubt this person even works there. I doubt I'll ever hear from anyone. Surprise me please. This really suck because the water amenities are really nice. Alot of the good reviews here are by people who have NOT actually stayed overnight at the hotel. They've used the marina or went to the bar or had dinner. So much potential. It just seems like there's no management. Or the ownership is really out of touch. No one directing anyone. We did have a great waitress named Lakota for dinner on night so maybe she can get some credit for that if anyone reads this. Thats enough for now. Never like to write a bad review. I hardly ever have to. Pretty sure this is my first time writing a bad review for a hotel.

    To start with we arrived on an out of season date and stayed for 4days. The first day we were the only ones there it was so darn quiet. Absolutely loved the quiet bad part was the Wi-Fi is terrible it's not password protected so our devices had a hard time staying connected and safe. Kept dropping us. Then BOTH their restaurants were closed. I had asked when we booked were they going to be open and was informed they would be but NOT. Oh well used Yelp and found 3 fantastic places. Fairfax Bar and Grill just a mile down the road, Eagle Point 3 miles away has Sahm's restaurant in a swanky golf club location, then we went to Bloomington to El Rancho's and had the best Mexican I'd had in years. So it was a blessing Four Winds Resort restaurants were both closed. They did have a dry continental breakfast in the mornings which was better than nothing. The rooms are very spacious and clean ours had a balcony overlooking the water of Lake Monroe and the huge marina. Beds and linens were very nice and the room has a 50 inch TV. Bathroom was clean with a full appointment of towels and wash cloths nice and soft. We got a chuckle at a note under the sink where they kept the extra towels. Two of the towels have a blue stripe which denotes they are for pool use only and if you don't bring them back from the pool there will be a $10 charge per each LOL. So we gave it 3 stars mainly since there were no restaurants open in the evening but exploring the area we did find exceptional replacements. We suggest going in season like we'll do next years and rent a boat or house boat if their available.

    DO NOT STAY HERE!! This was the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. It is so dirty, and the staff is awful. We arrived a little before 3PM and were told the room was ready but we would have to pay an early check-in fee. We said we would go to the bar and were told there were only 2 people working so if we wanted any of the terrible food that is on their limited menu, our options were a BBQ outside at 5 or pizza after 3:30. We received one pool towel and when we asked for another one, we were told you get one pool towel per room, so we had to share one for our day on the boat as were only given two bath towels as well. The pool was packed with screaming children and smelled so badly of urine; we were not going anywhere near that. The "beach" was also a joke with only a couple chairs and broken umbrellas. We had to clean our patio so we could sit outside-it was covered with spiders and cobwebs. We finally had it on day 2 when we were woken up to gangster rap blaring down the hall. We also had so much mold on our A/C, we were having a hard time breathing. There is nothing to do here without the amenities or renting a boat-unless you drive into town, but that's a 20 minute drive. Overall, this place is just absolutely disgusting. We are covered in bites hoping they are spider bites.... Oh, and the lamps in the room do not work-and be sure to check out the pic of the trash can..

    I'm sure this resort was one heck of a place in its day...but today, this resort is in need of a good cleaning. It's one thing to be run down and in need of a facelift, but this place is just plain filthy. We had bugs in the bathroom. Went to front desk and asked for some bug spray. They wouldn't give us any because they said they couldn't give us a chemical to use. So they said they'd come down and spray. They never did. They need to fire their cleaning staff and hire some folks that actually take pride in their work. Oh and the dead bolt was broken. The girl at the front desk wouldn't even look at us when speaking. Simply pitiful for a $200/night room.

    Beautiful sunrise

    I had a wonderful experience at Fourwinds Lakeside Inn and Marina. The hotel is nicely decorated. I had a stone wall in my room that made me feel like I was in a castle. I had a beautiful view of the marina from my balcony. The staff was friendly knowledgeable and efficient. The grounds are beautiful I enjoyed peaceful walks down to the beach and marina. The bartender and servers in the restaurant were awesome. very attentive and friendly. I had dinner and drinks and everything was delicious. The indoor/ outdoor pool is beautiful. I enjoyed sitting poolside relaxing. I look forward to my next visit and highly recommended it.

    Walkway toward Marina

    Most of the reviews here are true but I'm giving this place four stars because they are clearly trying. Stayed here May 13-15, 2022. Pros - the resort is in a lovely setting and has an impeccable exterior. Very photogenic. It's a nice getaway if you don't need fancy. The in-room mini fridge and mini microwave were much appreciated. Lakeside view rooms have semi- private porches. Cons - The weekend per night fee was not good value. (Try a weekday!) The rooms and resort interior are tired. The pool is open to any of the hundreds of boat slip renters with their hundreds of kids. ((Luckily the obnoxious and poorly behaved parents retreat back to their boats, not the room next to you)) Observations - if you overpaid for a Lakeview room like I did, you can save money by bringing your own food and enjoying it on the porch. The rooms face east so you'll experience a gorgeous sunrise. If you want to see the sunset you'll have to walk or drive over to the other side of the peninsula (off-site). The porches do not have screen doors. They should, but I'm guessing they are hard to maintain. The resort no pets policy doesn't mean you won't see pets. There are plenty of folks walking their dogs on the grounds. They stay on the boats, not in the hotel. All of the dogs we met were good boys and girls. Due to staffing shortages, your room will not be cleaned while you are there unless you're staying longer than three days. If you need your bed remade or extra towels, you have to ask. I needed extra shampoo and the staff member who helped me was very friendly. Overall, I recommend Fourwinds for a scenic no frills getaway, but only if you go during the week. Bring your own food and booze. Avoid weekends due to the price. Not worth $225 per night (with taxes and fees). See

    Reservation (1 of 5) clearly states cancel by July 3.

    We were able to get a deck of cards from the front desk and sat outside and played cards until it was dark.

    Stayed here recently and overall had a solid experience. The hotel feels modern and well-kept, and…read morethe breakfast was definitely above average compared to most places. The eggs and biscuits & gravy were especially good--fresh, hot, and actually flavorful, which you don't always get with hotel breakfasts. The room itself was spacious, which we appreciated, but there were a couple of comfort issues. It tended to run a bit warm, and the thermostat didn't seem to cool down to the temperature we set. The air also felt pretty dry overnight. We had an accessible (handicap) shower, and while it was easy to use, it left about half of the bathroom floor soaked after each shower. That made the floor very slick, which was a bit of a safety concern. We also liked that the hotel had a pool, which is always a nice perk, but it was pretty small. Overall, a nice stay with great amenities and breakfast, but a few room comfort and bathroom design issues that could be improved.

    This is a very nice hotel in downtown Bloomington. Easy to walk to amazing shops and restaurants…read more Bars all around. It's a college town. Hotel was clean and well kept. Small food store in the front that was very reasonably priced. Rooms were clean, bright and well appointed. Didn't use room service but it was very clean and well dressed. Breakfast setup is typical for the chain and well stocked. Attendants did a great job every day that I was there and they were always cheerful. One drawback is that the gym is very limited. There is enough to get in a workout but the cardio gear is very dated. Overall, solid experience and I recommend this location for a short or long stay.
