Last minute stay, Expedia listing was accurate and affordable. Hotel is situated on a lovely small lake with beautiful view. Room was spacious and clean. Continental breakfast was perfect for what we needed. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay again during snowmobile season.

Ok for short stay. There is a lovely Great room but the refrigerator in the corner makes so much noise we retreated back to our room. Needs to be replaced. You would probably safe money 👍.

Everything was good except we had a room on the second floor and there was no elevator. The stairs were long and kind of scary. The restaurant and bar at the motel were great. Food very good. Breakfast was good at the motel.

The staff was excellent and very friendly. We were in room 257. The beds were hard and well woke up both mornings with back aches so we were tired both days of our trip. The shower head was low and I had to bend down to wash my hair and I’m 5’7”. The carpet was stained and the light fixtures were loose along with the door knob. I’m not sure I’d stay again.
