Would suggest having assigned parking spaces. When I arrived there were no spaces available. Room I stayed in was good, but felt it needed a little TLC.

Reception was only open for four hours. When we arrived at about 7pm (having been there previously at 1pm) after collecting the key from the board, I found that there weren't single beds in the room. It was resolved by a phone call and converting the sofa to a bed but I'nm not sure what would have happened if we arrived later and no-one answered the phone call.

Travellers in 2018 mentioned, it's a run down property and in 2024, it's not been refurbished and carpet is in it's worst stage. People will asthma and with breathing problems will be suffocated in the rooms. Location is excellent and that's the only positive thing. I will advise people to stay away from this motel. Room rate is very high and owner is not worried about well-being of the customers. Health and Hotel inspection departments should inspect this motel and close this motel until it's refurbished

Had a view of the lake from the balcony between some buildings but couldn't have been closer to just walk to the edge. Room was a bit disappointing - tired and in need of some tlc - stained carpets, old microwave which smelt, no sink for washing up. It didn't match up to other similar priced motels we stayed at. In fantastic place though.

A great stay for me and my friends! So many things to do! We were able to hike a lot with the village motel being so close! We could walk to the lake, and see the stars at night! Loved this place!
