Chose this hotel for its proximity to the dunes and Silver Lake. check in and out was easy and staff were always pleasant. Our room was standard fare, nothing fancy but a clean place to lay your head with a lot of pillows, which is a nice touch. we had no weather issues during our stay and noticed the internet here isn't strong. water pressure was good and there were plenty of room amenities. the continental breakfast offered both hot and cold food items to start the day. the pool area is very large with tables and chairs and it is connected to a good sized outdoor area with a couple of picnic tables outside but the doors were locked from the inside of the pool area to access this area or walk completely around the building. There are no shade trees on grounds and no outdoor chairs like many hotels have, which was a disappointment bc the weather was beautiful and couldn't understand why not use that large outdoor area to its full advantage for customers, especially during the fall while its still warm out. Overall, its an average hotel, a bit dated and showing but at least its clean, the staff are nice and its a short drive to the lake and dunes
