These people cancel my reservation, got rid of my room. Didn't have any hot water at all. The people next to me kept going in and out of their room Slamming their car door slamming the hotel doors in clicking lock doors all night on their car.

DO NOT BOOK HERE!

Do not book your stay here!!! The manager was so rude from the second we checked in. He stated AFTER swiping my credit card that there was no hot water. He made it clear the water would be cold. So I assumed I would take a cold shower. Woke up and there was zero water at all. Not able to even wash your hands. I went to the front office at 10:00 am the next day and it was locked with no one in there. I have spoke with the manager on the phone to get a refund and he refuses and hangs up on your on the phone. The bed sheets were not cleaned and the mini fridge did not work either. Floors were gross and this is in a very sketchy area. Do not take the chance. I have spoke with the manager on the phone multiple times now and he has not been helpful

Fairly recently renovated facility

The room was large and renovated with modern amenities. It was pretty clean and very sufficient for a one night stay. Cons: Had to ring a bell to get door unlocked to get into office to check in. Ice machine broken.

This is average. They've upgraded some of it and it's better than it obviously used to be. But for the price it's a good choice to use as a stop over for a night while traveling thru. Good enough for one or two nights

I was highly disappointed. I didn’t expect much, but got even less. The room was not clean, the ice maker was broken, the tv didn’t work, only given one coffee pack for two days, no housekeeping done. Need I say more? I will not be returning to this establishment.

Convenient to Downtown and the lake.

It was very convenient to the event we were attending. We were able to park right outside our door.

The walkways could use a good pressure cleaning. But the room was clean, modern and comfortable.
