    For $130 you can’t really complain. Room was clean and beds were comfortable. It was nice that the hotel is in walking distance to a Dominoes and other eating places.

    The fact that the balcony was right on the lake was awesome. Had a huge snapping turtle come up.

    The room was a bit outdated and some things needed some attention. Wished there could have been more pillows on the bed.

    Check-in was easy, the room was well-sized, and we had a lovely little balcony right over the lake. There was a wedding at the property the night we stayed and we could see the ceremony from the balcony. In the morning, lots of seagulls were out and about looking for a meal. The bed was comfy and the room had everything we needed.

    Definitely an older hotel. The halfway was Soooo hot but the room was comfortable. There could have been some better detail to the cleanliness of the room and it could use a few repairs. There were random crackers where one might not think to look.

    Location was great! Staff were super nice and the water front was amazing!

    Na

    Front office person, I believe her name was Melissa, was amazing. There is no elevator and after learning that it's difficult for me to walk stairs, she immediately moved me to a downstairs room. Close to the exit door too! The heater and fireplace didn't work when i arrived, and a repair person came right away and got both working. The location was a little surprising based on online pictures, but it's close to shopping and restaurants making it very convenient. I would definitely stay again if in the area. Big room, great value.

    didn't like the fact no attendant at desk during the night. Also, had to just leave our room keys between two doors in the morning since it was before 8 am before any employee was on duty. We noticed some left their room keys at the general doors which isn't a good security feature as anyone could use those room keys to gain access to the building.

    View was nice. Not sure I would sit on the deck off our room as the boards looked a quite worn.

    The hallways were not vacuumed it seems for a long time and they were very cold. One of the desk people did say when we checked in that they couldn't find help so I'm assuming that's why hallways dirty.

    Nice location. Staff nice and helpful. Lovely view over lake. Room large and comfortable.

    Though the main room was nice, the bathroom was in need of repairs. Heater didn't work the first night but did the second night.

    Room was nice. Nice view of the pond. Room seemed fairly large. Not many people were staying the 2 nights we were there so it was quiet. Lobby attendants were friendly.

    There were some stains on the sheets that my wife was going on and on about.

    The room was large. Canada geese were on the lake. They came begging for food. The room we were in had a deck right on the water.
