We loved the cleanliness of the hotel. Our room had a charming retro vibe and was very tidy. The kitchenette was well-appointed, and the handwash and shower gel were nice touches. We appreciated the peaceful location, a little away from the busy center but still close to the lake.

The quirky mid-century decor gave our room a unique charm, unlike any typical motel. The staff were not only friendly but also incredibly accommodating, even allowing our furry friends to join us. we appreciated the quiet location, as it was just a pleasant walk away from the lake and town, perfect for exploring.

I had a wonderful stay at this boutique hotel, where the cleanliness was impeccable and the retro vibes added a unique charm to my experience. The kitchenette was well-equipped, and the complimentary toiletries were a lovely touch. Plus, the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, especially towards my two small dogs, making it truly pet-friendly. Its location was perfect, being close enough to shops but still offering a tranquil atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle.
