This property would be amazing if management would be a little better. The manager would turn off the Wi-Fi for some reason and you would need to go to the front desk to ask her to turn back on. Very strange!!

Not too bad
They charged us parking for the 2nd car. And refused free late checkout after 11am. We would have to pay hourly for any extra hour. Right by the lake. Everything else is ok for the price.

Great location but this place look really old, need update for sure. We could see outside trough the wall, beds and pillow really not comfortable, coffee really gross(they should promote hometown best coffee.. No fan in bathroom, no hood fan so it got really smoky in the room when i was cooking. Soap and shampoo was poor quality.

Renter beware with this property. I’ll start by saying the location is great. We were in a pinch to find a place for the partial August long weekend due to another cancellation. Surprised to see availability beachfront but now know why. The property is dated and run down, uncomfortable furniture (holes in chairs, etc) and very limited resources in the room. The most frustrating part is the owners/people that work there. I am a very pleasant, professional person who was there with my child for a hockey camp - quiet and respectful. We had booked a room with one queen-sized bed and the person at check-in asked repeatedly if I wanted two beds - which I replied no. We checked into the room and on searching for the fridge (the furniture is not standard - it was not an obvious mini-fridge) discovered a murphy bed in a cupboard-looking wall piece. We did not use the murphy bed but did pull it back to check it out (looked sketch). Discovered when my credit card was posted I was charged extra and when I called to inquire, the person on the phone was very rude and said the bed was obviously used. I had read other reviews that had similar complaints - lots of hidden charges or charged for things that most hotels would include in their nightly stay. Just know that my recent experience was the same - whatever you paid is likely not what you will be billed at check out.
