Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The rooms were dirty, club/bar / party with thumping music right under our room. My blanket had yellow stains and the pillows are half size not a full pillow size. It was not the greatest hotel but a cheap crash pad. Also for our room we had to body slam the door open each time as it was stuck and wouldn’t open. Pay a little more and go to a reputable place.
Staff was very friendly and efficient. Room was clean and neat. We were looking for a place to stay near an event we were attending and this was perfect.
A nice place overall. It's an older building but
They have done a lot of upgrades.
Nice water view on back side. And the restaurant had good food and nice people.
I will likely visit again 🙂
Was great i should of brought my robe as the covers were thin. A big ant crawling on window sill in am and some rags and old driveway trash next to front door. Looked like something brown on chair in room and hairdryer was melted. The buger i ordered from restaurant was really really good. Rm#154
Lake view is super. Easy access and parking. Facilities are a bit on the old side. Breakfast is bad.

The property is certainly out dated and old but the rooms themselves were quite decent. We were fortunate enough to be in a room on one end of the hotel because the live music on Saturday night didn’t bother us. We could hear it walking throughout the hotel. The continental breakfast was pretty good. The staff were nice. The room served its purpose.

Good price and good stay
The hotel was very conveniently situated and parking was great. The room was clean and well equipped with fridge and microwave. Large breakfast room overlooking the lake. Only minus were the multiple stains on the carpet in my room.
