First off, this is not a 3-star hotel, and you should only stay here if you are a child at summer camp or a parent with your children. My friends and I stayed here over the Labor Day weekend, thinking we would be staying at a pretty nice place with a lot of outdoor activities (which you would expect for $200/night), which was confirmed when I talked to one of the owners/managers on the phone before booking.
However, not so fast. When we checked into our room, there wasn't even a key (and they had no way to lock it), the beds were so janky that my wife actually checked for bed bugs, and there were absolutely no amenities. Also, there were almost no outdoor activities, outside of using the pool and corn hole; if you want to go paddleboarding, you can rent their 2 paddleboards and drive 45 minutes (Google says there's a pond just down the street, but it doesn't exist anymore). If we had paid $50-100/night, we wouldn't have been so upset, but this experience was unacceptable for the money we paid. The primary redeeming quality is that the owners were nice, even though we felt misled initially.
