Room was updated and spacious except the bathroom which was dirty, old, and moldy. Coffee maker was filthy. Nice view of the lake with balcony. It has a lot of potential

Beautiful views. Large rooms with comfortable beds. Reasonable rates and friendly staff. Needs some updates here and there, but overall, a nice place to stay. No continental breakfast, but maybe a nice big pot of fresh coffee would of been appreciated rather than the little weak brew they have in the room. Dunkin was across the street, so we didn't have to go far for a fix. LOL

The lake view was nice, area was peaceful. You can hear the trains and the interstate, and there were some small maintenance issues. Overall a relaxing stay with a comfortable bed.
