Outstanding! I had a Rueben with the sweet pepper coleslaw & both were delicious! Rueben had the right amount of dressing & the marbled bread was tasty. The Rueben was a bit soggy on the bottom side--probably sat a bit before delivered to my table. Friend's lunch plate was chicken salad on a croissant with a salad with the homemade ranch dressing. It was good as well. The accompanying broccoli soup was a bit "flour-ish" & just ok. Locals were enjoying this place so you know it's a good lunch restaurant. It's a lovely spot in an old time hotel!

They will go out of their way to accommodate any request as best they can. In fact, I feel it is more like staying with family rather than an impersonal hotel! The continental breakfast is as good as any, and I really like their coffee. They keep it well stocked. Last time we were there we used the conference room and we had no issues at all. Everything was exactly as I expected it to be! This is my favorite hotel to stay at and I am always excited when I get to go back! So if you have a chance, check them out! You won't be disappointed :)

However, the gentleman that were there that evening we showed up, seem to be very put out by the fact that we even arrived. They were not any more helpful in the morning. Breakfast was almost nonexistent and consisted of automated pancakes, an open container of milk shared among all the guests, and a limited selection of cereal. The toilet ran constantly until my father took the lid off and fixed the chain inside of it. The room itself was outdated with damaged walls and stained carpets. On the plus side they are pet friendly, and they do have two separate locations where you can plug in a vehicle or a boat. One has a regular wall outlet and slow charges, the other has a 110 and 240 outlet. Not sure what type of plug you need for the 240 outlet but it is not an Nema 1450. We were able to get a decent amount of charge off of the 110 outlet though. It also does not have the safety issues we encountered at the other pet friendly hotel in town the last time we were there. This location is in the middle of nowhere so if you have to stay here and have a pet or an EV, this is the lesser of 2 evils.

When I entered the room the AC was off on a 93 degree day, so I entered a sweltering room. When I checked the bathroom, the toilet paper roll only had a few sheets left on it, although there was a spare. The refrigerator was unplugged, so I couldn't store my leftovers in it. Worse of all is that there is that the locks on the doors are broken and the external entry ways aren't secured.

Probably 95% of the guest had never been to Rathbun Lake and was so impressed on how beautiful it was. Our guest stayed at hotel, cabins, & campground and everyone was happy. The staff couldn't have done a better job! Very knowledgeable on how everything should be run and I asked them lots of questions! They were right there to transport guest that needed help getting around. I could go on more about how happy and impressed we were but the bottom line for me, was how happy the bride & groom were. I definitely recommend a destination wedding at Honey Creek Resort.
