Excellent, can't help the rain
Pros:

Loved the room, the location, and the clean hotel

Cons:

The entrance can easily be blocked by 2 cars checking in and the parking lot floods in heavy rain. Need a second access to road.

Overall a pleasant stay, but I expected something better for the price.
Pros:

Clean room, friendly service

Cons:

Limited breakfast selection—the same thing every other day; the meal was quite basic (pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage), with nothing to make the hotel stand out from others in this regard. The location was average; while there was a lake view, you needed a car to get there. There were no open restaurants nearby. A tiny pool with no extra features, not even for children. Cobwebs in the windows and the balcony isn't clean and nice

I love my Lakeview room!
Pros:

It was up-to-date and very comfortable

Cons:

The only thing I could say that my room needed was a daily mopping of the tiles. I don't know why but the tiles just retained dirt and it's yuck.
