The hotel is nice but the windows were not closing properly and not really suited for the colder winter months. ##### Stephan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Charles 16 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Building is old and in borderline condition but clean large rooms. Good internet. No restaurant at hotel. Limited restaurants in nearby hotels. We did not use the pool or lake front. Parking is limited. Better to stay in downtown area. ##### Charles Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah 24 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property has great location.
