Misrepresented. 30 years past expiration date. Dirty, smells, cheap fixes, not even painted interior for decades. Made to appear as if on the lake but actually across from a busy highway (all night). Exterior makes it seem great, and could be be fixed up but owners too cheap to do it

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was adequately clean (heavy emphasis on adequate), but the room and building were in a state of disrepair— obvious, visible mold in the shower, staining on the walls and carpeting, and a terrible smell in the building that seems like a long term issue. Room was not like the photos. The hotel is isolated, so if you stay here

Very good location and beautiful vue to the lack. Breakfast is very, very basic . Big downside, time for breakfast (from 8 to 9) which is quite inconvenient if you are relaxing on holidays, and specially when there are no other places close by. Staff is friendly and helpful.

The price does not aling with the hotrl. Overall, Dirty, run-down, smells like mould, the incense burning in the common area helps reduce the smell but made our clothing smell like incense. It was priced as a 5 star hotel, but its a one star. The staff are friendly.

The room was extremely cramped and very poorly maintained, including but not limited to a bad leak through the ceiling from the shower in the room above into our shower stall. Although the staff were pleasant and the location was convenient I would not recommend it and would never return to stay.

Considering the price of the room, this place was a huge let down. Rooms were outdated with hairs in the bed and an old shampoo bottle left in the shower from a previous guest. Bed was uncomfortable. Staff was fine but not overly helpful. Location is the only saving grace. Horrible value for what you pay.

The only good thing about this hotel was the view from the window. No showered curtain & no hand soap in bathroom. Decided to have a meal in restaurant, very poor evening meal, , the lasagne was still cold possibly frozen. The hotel & meal extremely overpriced. Will not stay again.
