Great view, comfortable beds, the rest not so good. We selected this hotel in part because it had an attached restaurant, which would have been convenient for breakfast and possibly supper. But when we arrived we were very annoyed to be told that the restaurant was closed the two days we were there. This despite no notice on Expedia, or on the hotel's web site, or even the' sign at the hotel which claimed the restaurant was 'open daily'. For the rest, the room had the smallest, most cramped bathroom I have ever seen. Operating the TV required a good knowledge of how to select the right HDMI channel and select the satellite feed. The instructions and channel guide supplied in the room were just wrong and totally useless. The hotel claimed a 25 Mbit internet feed, but speed was spotty and sometimes resembled dial-up speeds! Staff were scarce to non-existent. There was someone in the office when we came to check in, but at other times the office was locked up tight. There was no-one there when we went to check out at 8:20 am, so we left the key in the room. We will not be staying at this hotel again.

This is a hidden gem. Looks average from the outside, but the room (we chose the bigger one) was wonderful. Clean, spacious, comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Nice to have an on site dining option that was reasonable and the food was good. Best part was the motel dock just across the road. You could sit in the provided chairs and stare at that lake view for hours. Very peaceful and worth the price of admission

Our room was spacious and well set up. We went for the suite on and very happy that we did. The only drawback was that we were looking forward to breakfast in the restaurant as we did the year before but they didn’t open until 11, I think it was staff shortage but disappointing

The rooms are older and dated, and not in the best condition. But it is rather large, I stayed in the rooms with queen bed and pullout couch, the pullout is not comfortable at all, the bed was nice. Everything was ok, not super clean but clean enough for most

Tv remotes are confusing and with inaccurate instructions. Had to call the front desk to watch tv. Btw, we were a year ago and the same issues with the tv and sat box.
