Bed was clean. Difficult to use kitchen—microwave and fridge only—as there was no sink or counter space. Don’t plan to do a lot of eating in your room. Great location for walking and seeing the town. Street noise, but that quiets down

Great lake views. Very friendly receptionist. Room was ok, bed comfortable but obscure glass window in bathroom looked out on outside corridor. No curtain, no privacy as people can still see through (movement, shape etc).
