We were very pleased with our accommodations. Right near the water, able to leave the car right in front of our room and walk everywhere. After reading some reviews say it was 80s style interior, I was not sure what to expect but found it very clean and comfortable. Well supplied with towels every day. Wifi was a bit spotty but not like we used it often. Would definitely stay here again. Enjoyable stay.

A real shame. This property could be great if was looked after well. Great views and location but….. Absolutely stank to the point we had to leave the balcony doors open all night and day to bear being in there, cleaned poorly to the point of some things being really gross (the sheet were clean we will give them that) and very badly maintained. Hope that start looking after the properties but until they do avoid!

We booked a room with a nice lake view, but it was absolutely terrible and beyond disappointing. If I could, I wouldn’t even give it one star. The description of the property was misleading and included false information. The building was extremely old, with broken windows that frequently let bugs in. The door lock was nearly broken, and we struggled to get in every time. The dishwasher was broken, filthy, and emitted a foul smell. The washing machine was also dirty, making it difficult to use. The carpets were disgusting, with dead insects scattered around, and insect remains stuck all over the walls. One of the bedroom lights was broken, and some bedside lamps didn’t even have bulbs. A small table was broken and dangerously wobbly. The kitchen drawers were falling apart, with front panels coming off. The toilet paper holder was broken, so the toilet paper was placed directly on top of the tank. The parking lot was narrow and extremely difficult to navigate. The cleaning was completely inadequate, with dust accumulating everywhere. During our stay, we developed nasal issues and suffered from dust allergies. Despite requesting the staff to fix the dishwasher and clean the carpets, nothing was done. The place was unsanitary and unacceptable. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone under any circumstances. Very disappointed.

Perfect location. The second bedroom was very dark with almost no window to open. Parking is very tricky if you have a big car. We had a Toyota highland and couldn’t park it, because there was a bigger car parked next to ours. Luckily they had extra spots available for the 3 nights we were there.

Love the property in fact stayed there 2 years ago. Outlook over lake and mountains exquisite. Walking distance to town centre and free parking.

Two bedroom with kitchenette and ocean view. Older, not updated and wouldn't say well maintained - only adequately clean. Carpet old and believe it was that which smelled. I think. My husband and son fixed multiple things in the unit over the week. eg. Non-flushing toilet, closet door not opening / closing, drain on balcony clogged which with the amt of rain was a concern... We came in for ski vacation, rental SUV didn't fit in parkade so had to park down the street whole trip. Extra Parking was usually busy / tight as sharing with the motel, but they let us park there. Place is well located, so probably why priced how it was. We might stay again, but I would probably look around a bit for the price to be sure before I booked again. In my mind, I was paying a bit more for the lake / mountain views (outstanding), as I hung out a lot while the rest skied.

Booked two bedroom for 4 while another friend booked the same type of accommodation at the same time. My booking cost more but when we checked in we were told you’ve got the same type, “but you’re this way and you’re that way”. Our room was so small, dated, old, smelled funny and cold when we got in. My mates room was way bigger, new, second floor views and heated already. Not real happy and even my mate felt he gave us the wrong rooms….too late. Ripped off in the end.
