The go to hotel in FSJ
Pros:

Comfortable bed, black out blinds, quiet, gorgeous lake view, walking distance to all amenities, great breakfast downstairs, good parking lot. Friendly and attentive staff. Lovely dog at the front desk. Couldn’t ask for more.

Cons:

No coffee was restocked the second day - and as good as everything else was at the restaurant, the salmon pasta was really bad, it went in the trash (no big deal, just don’t order that one😉🤣)

Overpriced and not worth the money.
Pros:

The Hotel was not a place I would stay again, but nothing else was available.

Cons:

The price is ridiculous, room smelled and was not clean, Tge bathtub did not hold water and the restaurant was dirty and junky.

Hidden gem
Pros:

This was one of our three stop for our family vacation and the best part of our stay. The hotel at first glance was worrying however the hotel was amazing. The staff were nice and easy going, they gave ideas of places to visit while in town. The room was pet friendly and great. The room was clean, large, and quiet.

I would certainly stay there again.
Pros:

The location of the hotel was perfect for our needs. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go. The customer lounge was perfect for early mornings so I didn't disturb my travelling companions. The bathroom was huge and the rooms was very spacious.

Cons:

There could have been a couple of shelves in the bathroom so I could put my clothes on something besides the floor after I used the shower.
