I like how the room has balconies on them. Breaking sandwiches and the coffee were excellent. The only thing I didn’t like is how the shower door hits the toilet. It would also be nice to have a corner shelf in the shower. Overall I had a great trip I’ll be back again.

I love this place. As an older woman traveling alone, I feel safe and secure here. Between the coffee shop and the brewery/restaurant, and live music and hot tubs, you never have to leave, but if you want to, it's located very close to the casinos, gondola and lake. It is an old property that they have poured loving care into, but there are things about the footprint of the hotel that can't be changed - the bathrooms are tiny, and the plumbing and heating/air conditioning are not perfect. But I don't shop for hotels in this area anymore. I'll be back!

It was a good stay. The standard room is a little bit on the smaller side (especially the bathroom) but it was enough. Parking can get a little tight as other guests noted, but I was able to find parking. The room was quiet. Staff was overall friendly. Wi-Fi was acceptable. Suggestion: it would be nice if the common area had a microwave to use:-)

The pictures fooled me. The property is decent but wouldn’t recommend. Our tv didn’t work and they asked us if we wanted to change room but the showers would not work. Two complete different things if you ask me.
