The hype
Great views and friendly staff, but the property is showing its age and cleanliness is hit-or-miss.

Boka detta om You want a low-key lake getaway with a surprisingly great whiskey bar and don't mind some dated corners.
Varför människor älskar det
- Panoramic Lake Texoma views from the Tower Whiskey Bar
- Three outdoor pools plus a heated indoor pool for year-round swimming
- Spacious villas with kitchens that work well for families and groups
Snabb Överblick: A lakeside staple that feels like two different hotels: one renovated and fun, the other stuck in 1995 with maintenance gaps.
Recenserat av @Askfoodb: I desperately needed to unplug, and this place was the perfect reset. Waking up to lake views and spending all day on the boat with the girls was exactly what my soul needed. Plus, the Texas-shaped waffles at breakfast? Iconic. 10/10 would recommend for a low-key squad trip.

Reality check
The 'resort' label is doing a lot of heavy lifting; expect a solid 3-star hotel experience, not a luxury retreat.
- You're here for the lake and plan to spend most of your time outdoors or at the bar
- You need a multi-room villa for a family reunion
- You appreciate a good whiskey selection (the Tower Bar is a legit highlight)
Renlighet & Underhåll
6.5
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests report spotless rooms, others find trash from previous guests.
- Bathroom hygiene: Needs improvement. Complaints about toilets not flushing and general wear.
- Maintenance: Showing age. Peeling paint, weeds on the golf course, and broken fixtures are common.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality, but check for stains or 'burnt feather' smells.
- Odors & scents: Generally neutral, but some mustiness in older carpeted rooms.
