We sat in the back room which only held our party. After moving some lightbulbs around so we could see better, we settled in to order. They have a nice selection of beers on tap. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with a side of coleslaw which was good. We shared cheese curds which were excellent and I copped a few fries from other's plates and those were yummy too. Staff was good. Nice experience.

Best food on the lake and the service is always friendly. Great selection of things to drink too.read more

Note - This review is just for the restaurant…read more I stayed at the IM Hotel across the parking lot (owned by the same management team) and headed across the lot for a late dinner after checking in. Coming in after the dinner rush, the dining room was still showing battle scars from the clearly busy dinner crowd, but the staff was friendly and accommodating. Menu was small, but offered enough variety. I opted for a caesar salad, adding chicken. Salad was delicious and clearly used all fresh ingredients. Being a party of one, rather than take up a table I sat at the bar. Bartender was very friendly and helped offered tips for things to do while I was in town. Would recommend!

Breakfast is included and they do a good job with that- eggs, sausage, toast, bagels, yogurt, hash browns, fresh fruit & so on. Heads up: the restaurant is closed on Sundays.

Went there on a Friday evening because there was no room at any hotels in town, so we decided to camp at this one. They have canoes and paddle boats you can borrow to go in the lake. Also a small beach with beach toys for kids. I would definitely go back there and spend more time relaxing or go fishing. Thank you for your hospitality.

I really want to give this resort 5 stars. I just can't. We had unfortunate timing to stay as the…read moresame time as the owner's friends. They had little people who ran amok unsupervised in nothing but diapers/swimsuits and life jackets and the screamed the blood-curdling scream of death every 30 secs. This wasn't typical little kids playing. It was high-pitched screeching and none of the parents did anything to curb this behavior. On top of that, these small children were left unsupervised while using the docks, swimming platforms and kayaks. When it was mentioned to the manager, he was okay with it because they were friends of the parents. This sort of behavior is simply not cool no matter who you're friends with. Here are some good things to share: the cabins were small but clean and it was stocked with everything you might need, the lake view was amazing, the swimming hole and beach looked like fun and there was a nice view of the lake from the deck, the selection of non-motorized water crafts were pretty great ... a nice value for my money. Under different circumstances, the family and manager appear to be colorful people! Also, the addition of Blue, the resident eaglet, was a welcome curiosity that added a surprising twist to our weekend. I hope him well in his eagle upbringing. I hate to leave this review. But my husband, children and I were at the resort looking for some peace and quiet. We had come from a funeral and we all need some time to get away from the stress of everyday life. We all left in worse shape then when we arrived. Honestly, we should've stayed at the casino down the road for half the price. Blue Moon, I really wanted to give you a better review. But unfortunately, I just can't. Good Luck with all of your future endeavors.

The rooms are dirty and smell awful. In our first room, the sink was clogged and wouldn't drain and…read morethe toilet seat was nearly off the toilet. That was the first night. The second day, the bathroom light and fan shorted out. We were grudgingly given a new room by a dour desk clerk who wanted us to know how big a favor she was doing us. The second room smelled worse than the first although the only thing broken was the desk chair. The walls were filthy. I called Wyndham to find out if we could cancel the next two nights -- they said they'd get back to me in a week. Expedia, etc., report it has a hot tub and heated pool and is pet friendly. None of those are true. A weird thing is they have a water dispenser in the breakfast area but turn it off. The sink in there is filthy -- do NOT eat the food! Addition: I'm reading other reviews and the hotel obviously doesn't care because pretty much nobody has much good to say about this hotel.

The room was clean, comfortable and updated with a view out the back. We stayed in the connected rooms so it was like a motel but they also had separate cottages behind that to stay in. The family that runs it must live near one end where you can see piles of stuff all over. I admit that looked really bad so i was afraid of what the room would be like and my wife and I enjoyed our stay there. We would book another room there, no problem. It was also affordable. Enjoy the photos.

Lots of freebies, excellent breakfast, and outstanding cleaning service. The hotel was CLEAN! NO BED BUGS or carpet beetles, and believe me, we checked. The linens were clean. The rooms were spotless, and did not smell bleached or chemically run, nor was there any smell of cigarettes smoke. Amenities and bonuses included a large spread continental breakfast open until 11 am, a 4 1/2 foot swimming pool, full cable, a large mezzanine area and lounge, free wifi (although it was a bit spotty) and a computer room with complimentary Microsoft office suite, and internet browser. The room was very secure with three locks (keycard, deadbolt, latch) as well as all side entrances that required keycard entry. All 24 hours of the day there was someone at the front desk. We will certainly be booking with this Hampton Inn again. For those going to Sax-Zim Bog, it is pretty close by and easy to get to and from.

This was a surprisingly nice hotel. Was not expecting such a new BW. The gal at the front desk was…read morevery friendly and helpful. Offered us free bottles of water (many Marriotts where we are platinum members don't do this) and helpful advice. The whole place including our room was in great shape and very stylishly decorated. The room was bigger than expected for this class of hotel. When I made the reservation I requested a quiet room on an upper floor and got it! The refrigerator was a larger size which was welcomed. A unique touch was the chest freezer on each floor with small pre-bagged ice vs those always broken ice machines. The free breakfast was standard for these types of hotels. Price was a tad high but it was week after holiday so lots of tourists like us. Highly recommended.

This is not a 4 star property, rather, the rating is based on expectations for this level…read moreaccommodation. Weird smell throughout. Hubs said it smells like cheap building materials. I'd say it was just odd, tho not so bad that we weren't nose blind to it shortly after arriving & didn't notice it while in the room. King room with plenty of space, outlets, lighting, temperature control & in-room amenities. The pad on the bed wasn't pulled tight or it wasn't sized correctly. I didn't sleep well because I could feel the lumps and ripples (princess & the pea moment). If I'd noticed BEFORE getting in bed, I'd have fixed it. I was flat-out beat tho & took the lazy way out. We, again, hit up breakfast. They had the standard spread of waffle maker, eggs (scrambled, omelet-like & boiled), sausage, potatoes & we greatly appreciated the seasonings & sauces available to give that same ole same ole a bit of pop. Parking was easy & we didn't use anything here besides the room & breakfast. We arrived late & left early the next morning, to officially start our tour. Note: We were 3rd of 4 in line to check in. The gal whipped out waters for #1, thanked him for being a Diamond member, told him what his points/bonus points were, explained ALL the hotel info - pool, gym, breakfast, check-out. # 2 gets up to the desk & the gal asks if they've stayed before, she replies not here but a lot of best westerns, giggle & gives hotel some info / #2 asks if there's Diamond Elite parking spaces (casual for hey, no mention of my loyalty, perhaps?) - response was "no, we're not that fancy" - no water given. We get up & the gal says, "did you catch all that or do you want it repeated?" We say we're good & she says most important thing is breakfast is at 6a - no waters for us. #4, took her back to interaction style of #1. It could be inconsistent or efficient, depending on how you look at it. (Had we asked for water, they no doubt would have given it. We had our own & it was perfectly visible at check-in.) Hubs is Diamond Elite. We booked direct with Best Western & didn't use points.
