It's a great price and the rooms are very clean and not too dated. The staff is the selling feature - I always saw people working hard and Neil, the owner, helped me in an emergency situation and his kindness will not be forgotten. Thank you, East Lake Inn :-)

Very old, bad damp smell inside the room. No gas stations or restaurants within walking distance. We left a day early and moved to a different hotel and lost the second night’s rent, which I was just glad to find a cleaner place.
