If it was real estate it would be called a fixer-upper. Built in the 60s and little done since. Mismatching garage sale furniture, unpredictable hot/cold shower, ancient kitchen, gardens and driveway a mess. Fixtures broken, areas unpainted. Very expensive for what it delivers which is zero luxury for the price. Only wins are the location is and the bed pretty comfy. Staff were fine

Very cold room so need the heater on all night as no extra blankets. No toiletries provided so make sure you have your own. Despite being opposite the lake and in a prime location its very noisey with foot traffic and vehicles from 6.00am.

Keep your expectations realistic and you won’t be disappointed. It’s an older property and in a state of disrepair. It could definitely benefit from a major renovation. Kitchen is a bit primitive, bathroom ceiling could use some work. However, you can’t beat the location and the view. Comfortable bed and great staff. I’d stay here again despite the rustic qualities.

Incredible view at a great price. Balcony was a bonus and eoukd be great in warmer weather. The bathroom was large and immaculatly clean. The kitchen was a bit tired but perfectly functional and there are so many options to eat out or grab a takeaway within easy walking distance it realky wasnt a problem. Perfect location for getting to all the attractions in town. Overall if youre on a budget and want yo spend your money on going places and dling things but would like a nice view and a comfy bed yo return too with no frills then this is the place for you. Late check in by lockbox was easy too. Staff were happy to accommodate this.
