Overall very clean and very friendly staff.
Pros:

The breakfast and wait staff were perfect

Cons:

What we didn’t like was that the dining room tables were dirty. They could have been covered by some nice white clean linens. The chairs on the outside patio were very uncomfortable.

I'm not a picky person. This is a small, old motel with inn and spa prices.
Pros:

The complimentary breakfast was great. The reception was efficient.

Cons:

The room was an old strip motel with some newer decor. The room had a musty damp smell like a tent or trailer. The fridge worked but rusty inside and a bad seal. The room was fairly clean but toilet still had crap stuck to the bowl.

Comfortable stay in a great location.
Pros:

The friendly and helpful staff was the most significant highlight of our stay.
The breakfast area has a full glass wall which looks out over the river and dock where the cruise boats arrive and depart from - lovely scenery.

Cons:

The Inn is a very old building and is in need of a "freshen up" as the carpeting while clean is very warn and needs replacing to improve the overall appearance and atmosphere.

The value is not even close to what you are paying!
Pros:

The only thing to like was the view from the dining room!

Cons:

The staff that checked us in was less that friendly, when inquired about if our room had a view of water, the reply was you got the room you paid for - a view of the parking lot! The facility is dingy and feels run down, for the price paid we were expecting better. The room was not well light and the “table” only seated one, the desk chair was so bad almost fell back when I sat down on it. The TV was like watching snow, the quality was so bad. The facility is advertised as also having a spa - there isn’t one. Breakfast came out lukewarm, sausage was actually cold - horrible quality!

Can do better
Pros:

The location is walking distance to the city cruise centre, very convenient. Just walk out to the main street there are plenty of food choices. It's a small town, there's not much to expect. But the frontal lake view is awesome.

Cons:

The inn is old, carpet on the stairs and corridor is as old. Room carpet smells bad. The odour is quite strong when open the door entering into the room. Bed is very high, need to have technique to climb up. Aircon is noisy.

Cons:

We had dinner at the Inn. I ordered a chicken dish and was unable to eat it due to the seasoning. Curry! I am very sensitive to seasonings and this ingredient was not listed in the ingredients on the menu. I had to choose another dish. The waiter said that I would have to pay for both dinners. I was very disappointed that they did not trade out my dinner as Curry is an ingredient that should be listed in the description of the item. So, I had to pay for two dinners.

Pros:

C'est un endroit très bien situé sur le bord de l'eau. J'y suis retournée après neuf ans car j'en gardais un excellent souvenir.
La chambre motel a été rénovée. J'ai apprécié.

Cons:

La machine à café était mal connectée et il y a eu plusieurs courts-circuits lors de son utilisation. Le problème a été réparé pour le lendemain. La TÉLÉ trop petite pas de guide programme DÉCEVANT.
