We were greeted warmly and was happy to find out that the management changed their policy regarding allowing bikes into the hotel rooms (albeit they have to be clean - totally get it). Hopefully they replace the picture window in room 211 to be able actually have a lake view. It was a great stay. Thank you very much! I will stay again.

The room was clean but slightly dilapidated. Our room was very hot and we opened windows to cool it down, and one of the windows wouldn’t shut. Very convenient location and friendly staff. Handy parking.

Very dated and in need of repairs and updates. No hot water coming from the bathroom sink faucet, faucet wouldn’t turn off, hole in carpet, gaps in the door, windows wouldn’t open, peeling wall paper, and mattress was pretty bad. Very nice front desk staff and the room was clean. Location and view were amazing but very overpriced for the condition of the room.
