I liked almost everything. The internet was very slow and the towels didn’t smell freshly washed. The rest area and cleanliness was amazing. This is the reason I gave 4 stars.

Clean room but overpriced, kitchenette but no utensils, stairwell railings loose, no water view rooms. This hotel is not on the water

Nice community. I get the sense this place is not being kept up. Service was minimal through our stay and the workers didn't seem to know what they were supposed to do. It was disappointing that the staff are not trained and the place is not being maintained as you can see it had been a nice property.

The property was very well used and out dated for the price of the room there wasn’t even a facecloth to wash your face sorry always wanted to spend a weekend there but was very disappointed and other guests I was speaking with also felt the same.Dont know for certain but must be owned by a corporate operation and not really looking after it

This is a very sad, dated place, worn carpets and furnishings. No utensils provided apart from a couple of cups. They had a fridges and microwave but no knives forks or spoons. Check in was not very friendly, given the place was virtually empty.

The property is showing its age and could use some updates. The room I was in had a rancid smell that I couldn’t get out without leaving the window open (problematic in December).

The property nestled in the picturesque Cyprus Hills park close to the lake has very much a lodge feeling. The accomodating staff make every effort to make the stay an enjoyable one. A great place to meet up with friends or share time with family.
