Stinky and dirty

Awful stay. Room had an absolutely atrocious smell. We thought it might go away with the air con, it did not. Smelled like 30 years of smoke and whatever else and a15 minute cleanup with over powered cleaning product. So bad that the next day we realized all of the clothes that was even in our suitcases even smelled. Had to rewash everything, even the clean clothes. Even my backpack needed to be washed. Cannot overstate the terrible smell. Room was quite dirty as well, and so were the halls.

Its a very cute small hotel, that serves well to the travellers en route. Hotel is a little older, but clean and well maintained. Staff is very kind and friendly, helped me sort out a lower level room (i didnt need kitchenette but wanted to stay close to my car. There is a nice lake in the town (Eleanor lake), two gas stations with a well stacked convenient store, another hotel, and TONS of mosquitoes, bring repellant (gas station store had it for sale) Beautiful views from the hotel evening and morning. There is also a restaurant on aire with a good menu selection.
