room was very cozy. only complaint is that i wish there was something filling the gap between the bed and wall because our pillows kept falling through. staff was very friendly and helpful. when our fireplace wasnβt working they came and fixed it within 5 minutes of me calling. itβs a nice property right by the village and a short walk from the lake. would book again

The room was adequate and clean on arrival. The shower was adequate and both the Wi-Fi and TV worked well. There is plenty of parking outside and the front desk gave us extra towels when we asked. Both the wall heater and gas fireplace worked ok (the gas wall furnace made some ticking noises that is caused by the metal contracting when it turned off everytime though).

Location is the best part. Walking distance to the lake and downtown nightlife. Property need a lil upkeep but way better than your beat motel 6. Rooms are a bit noisy from traffic and other guests, we could hear the hot tub water running for a very long time from the room next to us. We will be back
