The room was OK, but needs maintenance. The bathroom sink was very slow to drain, the toilet seat was extremely loose and the shower curtain was ‘cheap.” The view of the bay is quite outstanding and the beach is a real added touch.

Though I had prepaid through Expedia (and momentarily forgot), the very unfriendly person at the desk tried to charge me again by taking my credit card. The place looks good from outside but one of the two rooms had a broken bed, and other issues... Advise you to never book or plan to stay at this place!!!

The staff is rude. The room smells like pet urine. The room is dated and not well kept. Wi-Fi is terrible. Don't be fooled by the beautiful picture of the lake. Don't stay here if you have other alternative.

Beautiful location with a beautiful view but just feels like there is very little upkeep. Broken mirror in the bathroom, fan in the bathroom sounded like it was going to take off. Some of the lights didn’t work. Toilet roll holder barely hanging on the wall. It’s not a bad spot but just needs some love. Beautiful beach on the shore of Huron.
