Unfortunately we stayed for 4 nights and not once in that time did anyone come service the room. Found ice cream wrapper on the floor when we arrived. Mold on the roof on the bathroom and paint peeling off. Back door didn’t close properly. Dirty cutlery. Fridge froze everything.

Pleasant Stay

It was a pleasant and enjoyable stay. Loved our little patio with the view of the lake. And just perfect amount of sunlight coming through our room. Bed is comftable and room has complete necessities. Microwave, fridge, toaster, kettle.. and they provide dishwashing stuff.. Im just happy theres a well functioning hair dryer.. 😁 definitely coming back to stay here and recommending this place for sure..
