Great location and fantastic staff! Only issue in room is dryer door was falling off (I forgot to tell front desk when we left). Parking is tight; difficult to turn around, I’ve never been a fan of car stacking, but we didn’t have any issues. Everything else was great!

This hotel was very basic and relatively comfortable but I cannot believe how much I paid for it. It was worth about half the cost. I was only there overnight, so it suited my needs. However, when I asked the desk clerk about tours in the area and then again about the train schedule, she unhelpfully referred me to the internet. Don't expect much.

Great stay. Had everything we needed. Only thing I didn’t like was the 3-in-1 shampoo/conditioner/soap. I would generally take my own for a longer stay so not a huge deal.

The lake is right across the road from the residency. The house itself is neat and clean. There is also a well equipped kitchen. We were traveling in a group of six and we like to cook so it is perfect for us. The location is great. It's a pity that we didn't really have time to walk around but we did manage to take a walk along the walkway around the lake.
