Big room, however, never updated and no USB ports or any modern conveniences. Continental breakfast was typical continental breakfast, but was as expected. Darcy was very loud till closing time. The rooms are like a maze to try to find and get to the lobby or the breakfast area. However, not a lot of other options in the area.

The area around the hotel looked safe. They needed grab bars in showers. The tub was slippery with nothing to hold on to. The room looked clean, but one bed was wet and smelled, and could or would not be used. The bathroom also smelled of urine.

Last minute stay, Expedia listing was accurate and affordable. Hotel is situated on a lovely small lake with beautiful view. Room was spacious and clean. Continental breakfast was perfect for what we needed. Staff was friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay again during snowmobile season.

Its a decent hotel. Quiet, mostly clean. Needed to be cleaned behind the bedside table (popcorn and dirty) bedding is older and threadbare in spots. It was comfortable nonetheless. Convenient having a restaurant too. Food there is good, wait staff are friendly and attentive.

Everything was great, especially loved the outdoor fire pit and surrounding area! Staff was very, friendly and helpful! The only negative was that my friend is disabled, so it would've been better if we had been on the first floor, but not your fault, as when I made the reservation, I n3glected to mention it! Next time! I also apologize for forgetting to leave a tip for the housekeeping staff.😒 All in all, it was a great stay!😊

Stayed in a suite. Listed a hot tub but it really was a jacuzzi that was in disrepair. The water pump mot was so loud you could not stand to use it No air conditioning in the bedroom just two portable fans. Really, no air in the bedroom. A window air conditioner in the other area. All said it was clean and good maid service. Very old hotel. Very dated. Needs a major face lift. I would not recommend.
