Old property.
The room was very small for 2 beds. peeling wall paper, missing drawer knobs, old shower caulking and etc. The property is old. Underground garage is leaky with dirty green water puddles. Heater is working, but the heat escapes instantly.

Apparently, the boiler was out but no one bothered to call us or let us know ahead of time of the situation. We arrived to a space heater in the room but were freezing. Had to wear a parka into the bathroom. The second night we requested a second space heater but it was still not quite enough. We asked for a more definitive solution and they moved us to their sister motel which had heating. The customer service after the fact was great, but wished they had apprised us of the situation beforehand and offered us the move sooner as it was freezing!!!

Had a great time!
Loved my stay! Was located on the 5th floor and the view was great! Happy to have access to elevator and free parking! The only thing that I disliked were the pillows. They were really flat.

Nice hotel with amazing views!
Got there just after check in time and was greeted nicely and put in a room with lake views even though I didnt pay for the upgrade. Everyone in the staff was nice and friendly. We had a great stay and many restaurants were very close by within 500 feet of the hotel. I will go again at some time.

Older hotel in need of a remodel but great location. The view of the lake from the room was awesome. The bed was comfortable. The room a was clean and the bathroom worked. I could walk to fun excellent restaurants and the town was nice and relaxing.
It was a good value for the price and I will come stay here again.

Eh…
The room was clean however the bed was flat and stale same with the bedding and pillows.
The room does not have air conditioning nor a fan. If you leave the window open you will hear the traffic.
Great location and clean room though. If they would just updated the bed and bedding.
