Horrible parking situation. The parking space is first come first serve kinda basis, avoid parking on the top of the property its super tight my car is a small hatchback and I had a anxiety trying to get out of the parking space. Had to wait for the 2 cars next to me to evacuate until I can come out. We booked for a 1 bedroom 3 bed room and its okay. The rooms are outdated. There is not enough towel rails only one. The free shampoo and body wash dispenser was empty, good that we got some back ups. Our rooms bathroom door wont shut, the doorknob wont lay flat against the frame. Overall its an okay stay. Nothing impressive for me.

We stayed in room #1 & it was an impressive size. Both bedrooms had more than enough space. Bathroom also pretty roomy, but definitely dated. Clean & seriously great shower water pressure, but the shower box was on its last legs. The downside was when guests moved in upstairs. Every footstep, every trip to the bathroom, every time they turned the water on, it echoed through our room. It is just one of those things when you are away from home, but maybe some additional insulation in the ceiling might help to dull the noise a little. All in all, I would stay again, the location was excellent & the stay overall was really good value.

Clean unit, lousey parking.
Nicely appointed unit. Parking was difficult, bed was hard and pillows quite flat. Cannot fault the cleanliness or space of the unit. One large SUV parked in the middle park meant the parks other side were useless on the level our unit was on even for our small car.

Our first stay and very pleasant surprise. Got a free upgrade to a better room. Polite staff, clean room, adequate to the motel's rating, jacuzzi bathtub in the room a big bonus. Excellent location close to the lake and restaurants. Would definitely come back.
