Great accomodation lacking in service

The room was comfortable and large. Fridge came in handy. Loved waking up to the view of the lake. That being said, service sucked. TV didn't work. Asked at front, they came and tried hooking up to roku that didn't work. Said they would return with another remote in ten minutes. An hour later I caught them walking around the property!!

No hot water the entire stay — I couldn’t even shower. And the towel? It reeked of curry or some kind of cooking spices. Absolutely disgusting. Never stay here.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Was pretty basic, but convenient and inexpensive comparatively with nearby overpriced sleeping accommodations. Our room was large and clean, comfortable bed and lounge area. Hot water was limited (warm at best) Need tutorial on TV/Firestick function. When I say “dirty” regarding to he property, that refers to the perimeter of the property which was not maintained.

Driving across Canada...this location was, without question, the worst place we have ever stayed. Filthy, tv not working, no toilet tissue, blinds wouldnt close, dirty bed linen...the desk clerk had body odor so bad, we had to air out the room after he left....horrible experience all round.

The good things first. It was available, it was an easy to get to location and it had a lake on the property. The bed was clean and comfortable. The bad… there was mold on the bathroom window, although the windows were closed the highway noise was loud, there was no coffee, tea or breakfast items. The owners had a bonfire in the evening and loud Hindi music. Good thing was it was quiet by 9:30

New management, a bit run down

Room was poor, no hot water from the shower, TV didn't work, no coffee making facilities, no breakfast, the kitchen/breakfast room looked like it hadn't been used for a long time. Overall very poor.
