Un motel charmant au bord du lac, certes il est un peu daté mais il est impeccable. On peut se garer, le spa thermal dans la chambre est bien agréable, la petite cuisine est parfaite et la chambre a une belle taille avec une jolie terrasse et la vue sur le lac.

Greeted with a very offensive smell in our room. I'm surprised the cleaners never noticed it when preparing the room. Facilities otherwise very clean.

very ordinary

A cold, noisy, pokey room with very basic facilities. Not good value. And finding lipstick on the glassware doesn’t enhance the look.

2/10 Poor

The only thing I liked about this property was the location. Now that I have been away from this property, and cooled down, In mind and body! I will just say it was extremely hot outside and inside. No AC., poor air circulation, windows only open a few inches, overhang and adjacent building block breeze,fans did not help. We stayed only 1 night. out of 4 no refund on prepaid booking.

Awesome property. Clean and presentable. Was a bit unsure after reading mixed reviews. Yes the plunge pool is stained - if you know anything about Sulfur- you’d understand. Had Lakeview room - fantastic view. Great outdoor seating. Very happy

Avis mitigé

Le séjour s’est très bien passé, le personnel était très gentille mais le confort et la propreté pas vraiment ça. Très peu de vaisselle pour un appartement familiale 2 chambres. Le drap du lit parentale était déchiré, la moquette effilée à plusieurs endroit, l’arrière du logement jonché de saletés . Ça fait plusieurs années que je loge dans cet établissement mais je n’y retournerai sûrement plus.

4/10 Fair

We booked a studio room which had no air conditioning, it was approximately 32degrees in our room, 100% uncomfortable, considering all other rooms had air conditioning, when asked to be moved to a room with air conditioning this was not an option considering there were rooms available, instead we got a fan, two bottles of water and a bowl of ice. Totally unacceptable temperature to be expected to stay and sleep in.
