Was disappointed with our room booked as we believed it to include a spa pool as advertised. Did not have it. Was given option to change rooms but upon sighting the pool decided NO, but thanks. Our accommodation was tired and in need of a re do. Over priced for what it was. Not like the photos advertised. Would not stay there again.

Decent room, but very shady management. Stayed a night and wanted to extend for additional night. Asked 4 separate times for the price of the additional night and they continued to avoid answering only to say it will be a “little bit more,” claiming they had to raise prices for some event in town on a Thursday, even though practically every hotel had vacancy. Waited til 2PM to tell me the price was $74 more than the night before, over 40% increase, while they are not even close to being sold out. Shameful business sense, very deceitful. Will never come back and recommend you avoid this place as well. Also found a much cheaper price online for the same exact location on the same night for the same room type.

First time booking accommodation in the area as opposed to staying with friends. Easy, very friendly service. Expectations of the property and operation etc are straight forward and understandable. Property looks to have been renovated since original. In my opinion, sets a high standard for a motel accommodation. I booked the room with the spa and was very happy with my experience!

Had a fantastic 4 days here in Jan 24. Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts. The hosts were welcoming, the unit was spotless, parking was easy, the view of the lakefront was fantastic. The owners go the extra mile and nothing was a problem. We will definitely stay here again.

Only got to stay 1 night but would have definitely booked more. We loved our stay. The rooms was nice and had everything we needed and more the spa in the room was a huge bonus! Loved it and really enjoyed the soak also the bed was very comfortable with extra blanket and pillow. Right on the lake front and beautiful views also had a lovely lady check us in and show us to our room. I also really enjoyed the biscuits in the room thank you so much for our stay. Highly recommend
