The property and the stay was great however I didn’t enjoy the food at the connected restaurant Lak. The menu was limited. Cocktail and dessert was very good entree was a waist of $35. Overall I would stay again but next time I’ll stick with an appetizer and a cocktail if I must eat at Lak

Hotel and lake area was beautiful. Open concept flooring meant lobby noise traveled up the floors and could be heard in our room on the 3rd floor. Staff were very friendly. Had to ask for extra towels frequently as they only leave 3 bath towels per room. Ice is by delivery only. Restaurant and bar had delicious offerings.

We chose this property because of the lake and privacy of the lay out parking Is free and convenient. Approx. 30/45 minute commute to Baltimore DC area. We came back to our room to no housekeeping service, no toilet paper, coffee beds un made no clean towels. We had to go to hotels public bathroom! Waited half hour for housekeeping and afterwards room left with bed unmade and no coffee pods. Had to call front desk 3 times for
service. Management solution was ( free breakfast) we don’t eat breakfast. They told us to write a letter of complaint. That was the extent of their solution to the problem. This occurred Thursday August 22nd 2024 8:30pm.
