Apparently, the boiler was out but no one bothered to call us or let us know ahead of time of the situation. We arrived to a space heater in the room but were freezing. Had to wear a parka into the bathroom. The second night we requested a second space heater but it was still not quite enough. We asked for a more definitive solution and they moved us to their sister motel which had heating. The customer service after the fact was great, but wished they had apprised us of the situation beforehand and offered us the move sooner as it was freezing!!!

Had a great time!
Loved my stay! Was located on the 5th floor and the view was great! Happy to have access to elevator and free parking! The only thing that I disliked were the pillows. They were really flat.

Nice hotel with amazing views!
Got there just after check in time and was greeted nicely and put in a room with lake views even though I didnt pay for the upgrade. Everyone in the staff was nice and friendly. We had a great stay and many restaurants were very close by within 500 feet of the hotel. I will go again at some time.

Eh…
The room was clean however the bed was flat and stale same with the bedding and pillows.
The room does not have air conditioning nor a fan. If you leave the window open you will hear the traffic.
Great location and clean room though. If they would just updated the bed and bedding.

This place is a low end but expensive motel not worthy of even an overnight stay. There is one broken elevators for staff and guests for several floors and you can hear a very loud boiler room noise right under your bed. It was impossible to get any sleep. No breakfast is included in the price and you need to wal to a restaurant to get breakfast for $20 per person. Add this to your cost. Shower shoots had of its water to the ceiling in a tight shower space.

The property itself is great and I really want to give it a good review, however, the night I stayed, there was road work just outside the hotel all night until after midnight. The frontdesk was nice enough to offer me earplugs, but the noise was so loud and consistent that I wasn't able to relax or sleep until it finally quieted down closer to 1am. And I was glad I only had to stay one night on this trip. I'd stay here again for everything else was great, I'd just double check to make sure they aren't doing work outside all night.

This is an honest property for the budget. Room and bathroom are functional and fairly clean. Convenient parking that includes covered area. The greatest asset is the position walking distance to several restaurants, shops and front lake. Friendly personell. To get more stars needs air conditioning and updated heating unit; I didn’t use it but looks old and noisy. Building fixtures are dated.
