“Quiet and comfortable hotela”
Nice and comfortable stay with a nice view on the lake. The rooms are ok and equipped with everything you may need. The staff has been kind and helpful, and the breakfast served in the lounge offers both sweet and savoury options. Very good overall for a short stay.

“Good location, friendly staff, cozy room”
The hotel was within walking distance to restaurants and the main street. We originally had booked a basement king room, but we were upgraded to the main floor without asking which was a very nice surprise. Unfortunately the room had a musty smell. I asked if we could change rooms and our request was accommodated without any problem. We weren't able to get a king bed but that wasn't an issue. The room was small but cozy and we actually preferred it to the original larger room. The rooms come with a Keurig and complimentary coffees. You can easily get milk from the breakfast bar just off the lobby. The staff are very accommodating, friendly and helpful. The parking lot is small but there is free offsite parking if needed, which we did.

“This was a very nice hotel, conveniently located. We'll be back.”
The room was great and the bathroom exceeded expectations. There was a walk-in shower - no more climbing over a bathtub. Check-in was easy. The extra pet expense was a one-time fee and not a per pet fee.
