The bed was the most comfortable of any hitel we havw stayed out. However, our room had a weird smell that we could not place, there was no wash clothes in our room and it was attached to another hotel that you had to go to for breakfast or to return your key card. Our bathroom door also did not unlock so if you shut it when no one was in there it took some time to get it back up. The fan in the bathroom was loud.

enrique

Disliked: Staff & service
The room was what I would expect from a 2 star hotel and that is not my problem. The staff were not friendly even down right nasty and uninformative. Almost mad that you asked a question, this based on my responses and what I witness with other guests. The breakfast is in another hotel and she did inform me of that. I walked all around the hotel ending with the lobby, no breakfast. I go and ask her about it and her response did you go to the 3rd floor. No I wasn't told that. We just left and ate somewhere else. Not worth the aggravation. Plenty of other places to stay.

Older motel that isn’t cared for. No house keeping! When I asked about the room not being cleaned, was told “we don’t do that anymore more.” Breakfast was bad in every way. Skip it .Nothing good to say.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was nice with a lovely little balcony that overlooked the lake. Reasonably priced with lots of dining and shopping options within walking distance. The one area needing improvement was the breakfast which was mediocre at best. The eggs were awful! Absolutely no flavor and the pancakes were tough.
