Needed an afford able room for a work trip in Lengby. The bar and restaurant was a great perk after working a long day. Reggie the dog was great and good for the additive after work.

Our stay was excellent, staff was very friendly. Including their ‘furry friend’ staff. Dennis was such a good boy! Rooms could use a little updating, but over all comfortable and accommodating. Excellent view of the lake. Very beautiful property.
