It was ok
Pros:

The staff were lovely and it has a pool and spa. Parking was good. Room was clean.

Cons:

The room I booked was the smallest room I have ever stayed in but it was just me so it was ok. Wouldn’t be great if there was 2 of you. No aircon and a portable fan heater for heating. It was the cheapest room so you get what you pay for but was still over $130

Cons:

Bed was terrible, it dipped like it was broken and was way too soft.
Walls too thin, didn’t sleep at all.
Someone above me walked around all through the night. Heard everything kept me awake , not the hotels fault.

Pros:

La struttura è sul Lago

Cons:

Arredamento vecchio e fuori luogo (tenda zebrata coperta leopardata, sembrava di stare in Africa).
Nel bagno non c'è miscelatore, e i rubinetti non erano fissati bene e si muovevano.
Nel frigo nemmeno una bottiglia d'acqua.
Nella camera doppia c'era solo un abat jour, e pure mal funzionante.
Solo un cucchiaino, le stoviglie poggiate nell'armadio.
Abbiamo scoperto solo il giorno dopo che c'era un ascensore che avrebbe fatto comodo per portare su le valigie, tra l'altro accessibile solo negli orari di apertura della reception.
La struttura dove sono presenti le camere aveva un forte odore di cibo indiano.

I wouldn’t stay there if it was free false advertising. The staff couldn’t really understand what I was saying and said
Pros:

I liked the location and I like the idea of there being a swimming pool

Cons:

The advertisement on Booking.com was for a double room, which is what I booked. However when I went to the reception, it was a bunkbed. They told me that it said bunkbed on the advertisement but it didn’t and it’s still as a double room.

Pros:

Clean, modern, location, kind staff! Great for a short stay! Nice view of the lake.

Cons:

Room were obviously a bit small, but that was advertised. Was a struggle to get the bags opened though, no way you could fit a regular sized suitcase och the floor in the room we stayed in.

Wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

Good location to walk to town

Cons:

Motel doesn’t appear to have been maintained in the rooms at all. We booked a family room which appeared to be a combination of old closets linked together at the end of the hallway. The mattresses were almost completely flat you could sit on them and fall off the bed. We had an electrical socket with a hole and only half a dinner set. We booked for 2 nights and only stayed 1. Staff member on arrival was friendly and helpful. Also, no designated car parks for rooms so you’re not guaranteed to be able to park at the property.
