Spectacular dinner, service and views. Rooms are small, but common “living room” was nice to meet people after dinner. We looked for value room this one night, and room reflected price, but bed was very comfortable and breakfast included rate added even more value

I went when there was some construction going on. (I think they're expanding the place). So the view wasn't that good, and it looked like I was facing the back alley of a restaurant. There was a loud rumble through most of the day coming from some vent in the building, which did subside in the night. The common room was very nice.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was a terrible decision to rent from this place. There is no lake view, late night/ early morning construction, very basic breakfast with very few choices, no staff to assist with concerns and dirty dining room from dinner service the night before. I would absolutely not recommend this place to stay

Located by the bigger road. You hear everything in to the room. Small room and tiny bathroom. It smells a lot of sulfur from the shower, naturally so nothing they can do anything about.

Stayed for one night, the room was clean but the place is right on the highway, The sulphur smell is real, room was too small , also there was a lot of smell from the kitchen coming up to the room and noise of the boiler was irritating. they turn it off at 10 pm but I really couldn’t tolerate it until shut it off, For the food, I had the veggie burger and it was very weird tasting and too oily , I felt nauseous.
