Such a lovely welcome from the gentleman on reception! Friendly, helpful, informative, just everything you could want on arrival at your accommodation. He even gave us an upgraded room with a wonderful view of the lake. Limited space for food prep but we knew it was microwave only, so we were prepared. A little noisy from other guests but not through the night, so we had a great sleep. Highly recommend for a short stay.

Clean room, open the window for fresh air off the lake. Thought it would be noisy on the Main Street but very quiet. Amazing views of the lake & the snow covered mountains.

Internal doors and walls could do with some painting attention to spruce up. Stayed in room 404. Small curtains on side windows at front need to be replaced, otherwise good overall.

It's all about the location, location, location. Our rooms had spectacular direct views over the lake. The rooms were very clean. One of them (Room 303) had an interesting layout. It was a 1-bedroom, but to walk from he bedroom to the living area, you had to go through the bathroom. It required a little co-ordinating in the small amounts of time we were in the room. The manager on duty added a wonderful touch when, upon learning it was my son's birthday (because his mother had sent a package for him to reception), added a block of chocolate as a gift, when he delivered it to me.

While the hotel appears reasonably old, the room was very clean and was very well appointed. Being on the lakefront with expansive views made our stay wonderful. Also, the staff were very personable and helpful. Would recommend as an affordable option.
