Amazing Scenery and Super clean Rooms!

helpful staffamazing sunrisegreat comfortconvenient access
I found the staff at reception very helpful! The sunrise was definitely worth waking up early to see. The bed provided great comfort. I slept soundly. The location provided convenient access to nearby attractions.
I noticed very slight wear and tear on some furniture, but it did not impact my stay at all.

Convenient stop with lake view

good sizefriendly staffhour deskconvenient location
The room offered a good size and included a view of the lake. Staff were friendly and available at the 24-hour desk. Parking was available. A 24-hour McDonald's is conveniently located on site, a. plus if you want fast food (i grabbed a midnight snack!).
The room definitely needs some refurbishment. This makes the room feel a little unkempt.
