    All good

    Very clean, well managed property. Really close to the Lake, good parking in front of your room. Cannot complain at all.

    The vent in the bathroom didn’t work unfortunately.

    It has all the basics nothing more. So for the price it’s a great stay. Very close to get activities. Has a mini fridge, microwave, hair dryer, coffee maker, ironing board and iron. And a small rack to hang few clothes.

    I understand this was a 2 star hotel but come on. I checked in. Reception was not smelling nice. It smelled like someone sleeps in there and doesn't take a shower. I was given a key. Opened the door, smelled strong like cigarettes. Asked to get it changed. 2nd room smelled strong like sweat. 3rd room smelled like paint, or some construction compound. I had to choose room 3. All rooms I saw were in bad condition. Like other people said, unfinished patched walls without paint. Rust on some metallic parts in the bathroom. The main door didn't have one of the trims which left an open see-through space, so they put toilet paper all along the gap to give you privacy :) (somebody else posted a picture of this issue here, 3 months ago, and it hasn't been fixed, guess they don't care). Hair dryer had spider web on the intake. Shower missing a knob. The whole infrastructure is very dated and run down. Like being in a museum. The ac/heater was manual with knobs and buttons, not digital to set up your own temp; and it barely cooled. The fridge was loud. The not so bad things. The sheets had some debris I had to clean, but they didn't smell, or had hair on them. The work areas, nightstand, counter, table, had clean surfaces.

    Don't believe the reviews. Only plus is the location. Everything else is either smelly, broken, or dirty.

    I have been overcharged compared to what I booked on Booking.com
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Queen Room with Two Queen Beds
    • Stayed 1 night

    During my recent stay booked through Booking.com, I was shocked to discover overcharges compared to the rates I had initially booked. Upon querying the reception about this disparity, I was informed that it's standard practice for the hotel to charge more than what Booking.com quotes. This revelation left me utterly surprised and dissatisfied. I had meticulously booked my accommodations based on the rates displayed on Booking.com, only to find myself confronted with unexpected charges upon arrival. Such a blatant deviation from the advertised prices not only undermines the trust in the booking platform but also reflects poorly on the transparency and integrity of the hotel's pricing policies. As a customer, I expect clear and consistent pricing, especially when booking through reputable platforms like Booking.com. The lack of transparency and the dismissive response from the reception further exacerbated my disappointment with the overall experience. This discrepancy between the booked rates and the actual charges is unacceptable and has left me with a sense of distrust towards both the hotel and the booking platform. I strongly advise other travelers to exercise caution when booking with this establishment and to clarify pricing discrepancies in advance to avoid similar unpleasant surprises.
