Severn Bridge: hotel a 2 stelle

We are long time returning guests. We stayed for a week and our visit was almost perfect except for quite a few dining room issues. The resort looks amazing, nice landscaping, very clean, our cottage was perfect for our family, rec program is great, office staff is friendly and helpful. However, the food this year was hit or miss. Breakfast and lunch buffets were generally good- except some finishing touches were missing - like topping for the tacos- no sour cream, lettuce, etc. or sauces for the egg rolls, etc. -just small things that should have been included. Also, it might be a good idea to require parents to accompany children at the buffets. We saw a group of little guys put their mouths on the lemonade spigots and lick the jars, and touch all the desserts. Dinner was our main issue. More traditional dishes would be appreciated. And what we did order was overcooked or small portioned- literally 3 slivers of sausage in the tortellini dish. We actually went out to dinner 2 nights while at the resort due to the choices that were offered. Also, although the wait staff was friendly and attentive, we had difficulty communicating our needs at times. And unfortunately, I hate to say it, lots of body odor issues which is not something you want to experience in the dining room. And finally, lunch was not served on the Sunday but is provided in the snack bar for guests. However, when we went to the snack bar to order, the staff had no idea what was going on. When the situation was finally resolved and it was determined that yes, we get a lunch it took 2 hours!!! for chicken fingers, burgers and fries....We have rebooked for next summer, we love the lake and the resort itself. However, we are unsure if we will be getting a meal plan again or cooking our own meals. Bayview is known for it's amazing food, but this year, it just wasn't up to par. Hopefully, these issues can get resolved.
