Lovely place to stay. Right on the lake, clean, comfortable, and quiet.

We found the physical hotel to be fine however the staff weren’t great…especially in the restaurant. I’m not sure if it’s a training issue or a lack of availability of better people, however they seemed to be somewhat disinterested. As “the best” hotel in the area, we would have expected the staff to be friendlier, so we were a bit disappointed.

The most terrible experience we ever had!! We booked 2 private bedrooms for 4 people as we know it’s a hostel so we opted for this option to get private bathrooms, but when we got there we were told we only booked 1 private room. We had the proof of our booking with expedia but they still insisted and they offered to let the 2 men stay in the 4-br shared men’s room. We requested if we can be placed together in that 4-br instead, they said yes but with a higher rate than what we initially booked. I questioned why is it more expensive for 1 room with 4 beds compared to 2 private beds with their own washrooms. They were still insisting we should pay that (more expensive) fee already before someone else books a bed in the men’s room. We were still deciding but they let another person in so they told us it doesn't matter what we decide on anymore because they only have the 1 private bedroom left. We ended up not staying in this hostel since we all can’t be accommodated, and the manager told us he won’t charge anything since we’re not staying anymore and that if there’s any charge it may be cancellation fees from expedia. Well guess what? They charged us 122 dollars and even expedia couldn’t reach out to them about it! If you want to book with this hostel, then book at your own risk! But based on our experience it was definitely not worth stressing for and we felt we got scammed!

Great place to stay! A nice small motel very clean spacious rooms bunnies everywhere I would definitely recommend. We stayed for two nights in mid July 2026
