Since many Ritz Carltons run summer specials in hot climates, we got a very good deal for a regular room with a garden view. However, upon arrival at the resort, we found we had been given a major upgrade. Not only were we given a lakefront room, but it was on the club level, which at a Ritz means five free food services a day and free drinks (alcoholic beverages included) 24/7. Needless to say, we were thrilled!
The resort itself is gorgeous. There was lots of wood, fireplaces, beautiful stone floors throughout, and majestic views of the 19,500-acre lake everywhere you turn. Our room was large and had a wonderful view from the 5th-floor balcony. Comfy Adirondack chairs adorned our balcony and were spread throughout the grounds and around the lake.
