I liked the property, the room and the beds. I had a very good and comfortable sleep. The hotel would have been perfect if there had been any hot water available from the bathroom sink in the evening to wash my hands and face. And on a cold winter morning, I would have preferred a warm shower to the frigid shower that was available. I was also very surprised that, when I checked out in the morning, the person at reception did not seem phased nor sympathetic when I told her that there was no hot water at any time of the day in our hotel room. It seemed as if she hears this news all the time.

Room was in poor shape (carpets peeling off the wall, tile peeling in the bathroom, paint bubbles in the bathroom from moisture). There was a strong cigarette smell in the hallways near our room as we were by the staff storage room.

The clean, comfortable room with a view of the lake stood out. The welcoming agent at the desk could have exuded more warmth. The hefty overnight parking fee was unexpected.

Room was clean and had everything required for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was busy and strange set up as there's nowhere to sit other than in the reception area but we just took breakfast back to our room. Parking lot not big enough so took a while to find a spot but overall, hotel is ideally situated and great value for money.
