Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while small, met our needs, but cleanliness was a concern with a used diaper found and dust present. The service provided by the staff was quite helpful and they were very friendly, making my stay more pleasant. The location was good for outdoor activities, although not within walking distance of the lake or town. The dining experience could have been better with more variety in the options available.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were very clean, although quite small. I even had a dog in the next room, which was unexpected but not a big issue. The hotel and pool were kept tidy and in good condition, which was nice.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very clean and tidy, but unfortunately, there was no sound buffering at all, which resulted in disturbances like a crying baby in the room above in the middle of the night and continuous noise from people walking. On the bright side, I enjoyed the view of the heavy snowfall out the window, which was quite picturesque. However, it was a bit disappointing that the room didn't have a mini fridge like the two-bed rooms.
