Older rooms, very cold ceramic tile floors, bring something warm for your feet! Lakeside. Heat is run through a/c and is ver loud. No decaf coffee but a good assortment of others. No wash cloth. Linens ok. No check in or check out they just left the key in the room when it was ready.

This place looks local, but it is a corporate schill. I booked a room to see the fireworks at the Ice Castle. When the temps forecasted were -20, I requested cancelling because I was told not to be in that weather because it was dangerous for me because I am coming off heart surgery. Bookin.com was in agreement and willing to cancel. They attempted 3 times to get ahold of Gauthiers, no reply. I emailed twice and left 2 voice messages. No reply. It is disturbing to see the continued cruelty all around us. I ate the room rate ( twice as much as the day after) $253. Needless to say, I will never book there again.

Path way to room was not cleared and had 6” of snow in it that you had to walk through. There is no front desk attendant present on site so the flowers I ordered could not be delivered. I was met in the parking lot by a man and was checked in on his phone that had problems loading while we stood outside awkwardly waiting.

Room was comfortable, view is nice. Bathroom is small. Bed a little firm. Room was noisy at night with the heating & random loud noises at night. Also the place is right next to a main road. Parking can be tight on holiday or busy weekends. Overall not bad for a quick weekend getaway.

The wifi did not work (apparently, they were had a repairman there earlier in the day), and there was still food in the fridge from the previous visitor. The bathroom was very small. There was no mat on the floor at the front door so we tracked snow and slush just inside the entrance. The entire room could use a renovation. Anyway, I called about the wifi and the food in the fridge and they were happy to give us a 10% discount, so that's okay.

The room was nice and clean. It was just what we needed. It was wierd to check in over the phone and not deal with a person face to face. We felt neglected with no one on the property. All and all it was a good stay
