Very good

The bed and pillows were terribly uncomfortable. The rooms could do with an update, but they were clean.
There was a beautiful pool and you could order food or go to the restaurant next door, so that was handy.
This is a very dated Motel; it is one that I would not stay a,due to this.
Check in was a MAJOR. We had to go to the Hotel next door to get our swipe cards, and neither of them worked; which resulted in another walk to the Hotel to get this rectified.
However the cleaning staff were amazing, very helpful and polite.
Enjoyed our stay. Room was adequate. Had a swim in the pool water was a bit to hot so didn't stay in long but very nice. Walked in to town a long the lakes edge took 30mins most enjoyable. Will stay again for sure.
The staff next door was top notch (at sister hotel,) The room layout was fantastic. Here is the downside;; room was so moldy it was hard to breathe. No air in bedroom off to the side. But they did borrow us a fan for the night. The pool outside are door was so dirty around it and no where to sit unless you had a poolside room. Pool was not anything like the picture. We went to the local store to get an air sanitizer spray.. that did help. Suggestion would be to pull out all the carpet please at least for health reasons!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
the twin beds were not large enough for an average adult and there was no bedside table to accommodate a CPAP machine for nighttime breathing equipment . The view was beautiful with the setting sun on the lake.
We loved the lake view; the landscape and the environnement are increadible! The acces at the millenium facilities werer a big plus! We enjoyed the sauna and the pool everyday! There are two big issues that were very annoying for us... The bed are increadibly old and incorfotable! The mats are awfull. We had to sleep in the very little separated twin beds because the main bed hurted our back so much (I ended sleeping on the floor the first night...). My light little kid has been ok in it finally... The wifi is awfull too. It was more or less working one day on two... The staff is great and helpfull and try to help as much as they can... We enjoyed to walk on the long boardwalk 3 km trail and the beautifull sunset every night across our huge windows. The ducks were very friendly and fun to look at.
I wonder if booking on expedia and thus getting a discount, means you automatically get given the most basic room. There were other rooms available but I go one with the sign light shining through the curtains all night, plus the light shining through the glass panel in the door. Apart from that, the location is excellent, the room was clean and the staff were nice.
