Spiders in the room, they turn off the wifi at night, and the bot water was off in the morning. The only redeeming quality is the river.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Though I am sure the new owners/operators are trying hard they could use some pointers. Items they may want to consider: The billboards indicate a continental breakfast (nope) and in many ads it indicates a restaurant (nope). One usually expects a coffee maker of some sort and some coffee (nope). My husband had a lukewarm shower- by the time I got in there was no hot water at all - I really wasn’t in need of a cold shower LOL. On the plus side the beds were reasonably comfortable.

While the room was clean and the bed comfortable, the property is in much need of maintenance work. Note that there are no facilities around for food or coffee. There is a small fridge in the room, but no coffee machine, so be prepared.

Odeur terrible dans la chambre (odeur d’urine de chien). Un laisser-aller total des lieu malgré un environnement qui pourrait être très chouette. Chaises extérieures défoncées. La réception du Motel, un fouillis total. Pour le prix, c’est inacceptable,

Only there for one night. Unable to access the wifi connection. Property manager was very helpful, as we arrived very late at night and showed us the and room and everything in it. Offered to provide us with a n air conditioner but there were 2 fans that provided us with cool air. We had stayed there overnight at the beginning of our vacation and we decided to stay on our return home.

It is a beautiful location next to the lake. Staff were friendly. Room included a kitchen area that, unfortunately, was not clean. There were left over cheese slices in the fridge and the stove top and burners were very dirty. The bed had no top sheet, just a thin comforter and the water only got warm; never hot.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was not great, but the sheets were very clean and it was affordable and convenient. The people running it were unbelievably nice! Someone’s dog knocked their ball in the lake, and they went in and retrieved it for the dog owners without asking and with no hesitation! It was so pretty outside. Blueberry patches, fire pit, picturesque lake. TV didn’t work, wifi was iffy. Bring a book or sit outside and chat with the neighbours.
