Over priced
The location was good. In walking distance to trail to Lake, restaurants and shops. The room was clean but it is very dated and had an old smell to it. Way over priced!

Staff was great and accommodated needs that I had for late check-in. It was motel-comfortable, clean and simple - just what I needed. My 4 legged friend was welcome and we had a good stay. Internet was stable enough that I could do work without interruption.

Great location. Dated rooms.
Staff very friendly. Carpet smelled really bad. Not stable water temperature so one of my kids ended up getting burned as he was taking a shower. No vent fan in bathroom so our towels never dried. The shower head sprayed water all over the place. I wish there were some simple soap/shampoo dispensers on the wall of shower. There are no wardrobes or anything other than a closet, so you’ll have to live out of your suitcase, on the floor. AC/heater is super loud, and is next to one of the two beds so whoever sleeps there will wake up super dehydrated.
Please give access to the office so we can use the water filter, and install a coffee machine/tea machine.
Great location.

Great location walking distance from the lake and close to nice places to eat. Checking in and parking was not a problem. Room was updated, warm, and had everything we needed. Worth it to get a suite.

Short walk to a hike that wraps around the lake. Gorgeous view of the lake and mountains. Torino’s were not fancy but clean. Smart TV equipped
