We were in C1 an annex building. Very quiet. Extremely clean. Motion detector light burnt out. More area lighting would be good. No blue box in the room, does that mean they dont care? I hope not, because the other details were great.

If you are looking for a cheaper but still clean and safe alternative to a hotel room, this inn is your place! Very affordable with a gorgeous lake view! Just 8 minutes from Casino Rama which is a great spot for concerts! The staff and owners are very friendly and accommodating!
This is the lake view right outside our room!
