Room smelled bad possibly from carpet that gets wet in winter from skiers boots and gear. Probably moldy underneath. when I got home and unpacked my suitcase my nightgown smelled like the room and we only slept there one night. Staff friendly. Nice view. Would never stay again.

This is an older property but, we were very pleased with its location; central to shopping, dining and the lake was right across the street. We will definitely stay here again.

Old and Tired with Great Location

Location hands down fantastic. But the owners are putting no money back in it. It’s somewhat run down. Expect adequate, not nice. Staff worked hard to please us despite limited lobby hours. Great restaurants and path along lake.

The staff was great. I have to thank the cleaning service for finding my daughter’s Gold necklace which meant a lot to her! My complaint is that the rooms need new flooring . The carpet was very dirty to the point that wearing my white socks in the room turned them brown. For that reason I would probably not go bank there again .

We found out the day before our arrival that road construction was happening right in front of the hotel at night. It didn't turn out to be much of an issue, but it did not just begin. We should have been advised sooner so that we would have an option to change. Access and parking was a minor issue. The mattress on our bed has as hard as a rock with no padding, probably the most uncomfortable mattress that I have ever slept on.

The view and location is nice but with no ac it can get loud. They do provide fans. The worst are the beds which are some of the hardest I've ever slept on.

SLUM LORDS! Do not stay here!

SLUM LORDS! This hotel is absolutely unacceptable. The first thing that hit me was the smell — stale, unpleasant, and impossible to ignore. The carpet was filthy, clearly neglected for years, and the blanket on the bed looked old and worn, as though it hadn’t been replaced in decades. The bed itself was a nightmare: instead of a proper mattress, it had a wooden board running through it, making sleep nearly impossible. The window didn’t even lock, which made the room feel unsafe. On top of that, the bathroom didn’t even have a shower curtain, leaving water everywhere and adding to the overall sense of neglect. This place cuts corners at every possible turn and shows zero concern for guest comfort or safety. I would strongly caution anyone against staying here.

Don’t book this hotel!!!

This hotel accused us smoking in the room which we didn’t do at all. We don’t smoke at all. That’s ridiculous and they charged us $250. We checked in on 9/2 and checked out next morning around 5:55 9/3 but no one in the office. We paid for two days stay but we don’t like the hotel because of its environment so we left one day early.
