The room and washroom are clean and walking distance to the lake. Heating is good in the room. Nice for cold weather. But no elevator or help for big luggage.

Solo stay

Wonderful to be able to get a room here on the lake front at such short notice. Loved the newly decorated room with a great few of the lake. Staff were very friendly and kindly upgraded me to one of the newly decorated rooms with a view of the lake. The room was toasty warm and nicely decorated. Amazing shower with good pressure. The Jack Rabbit restaurant downstairs is great with super friendly and helpful staff which was great as no need to go outside in the cold once checked in for the night. Highly recommended and hope to stay again.

Solo stay

Could not find much to fault. The room was spotless, well appointed, with mini fridge, table, two chairs, with an enviable view of the lake. The shower/bathtub was a plus. However it did not have a microwave nor was not able to log on the internet. Very pleased with my room.
