The room had stains on the floor, the bedding was so outdated. My cousin dropped something behind the night stand and it was so dirty, I mean dirty like 20 years of dust/dirt. The window ceil was dirty. Bathroom was immaculate. The breakfast was good.

I was in a room with lake view. Gorgeous view it is. The hotel is older and heat does not seem to work. My room was equipped with a portable heater. The staff person was very religious and did not appreciate ghost jokes but overall, they were friendly and provided good service. The breakfast is nice, cereal and toast, yogurt, juices coffee. one can sit by the window and see lake view.
