Hotel is in a fair area by the water. All was Ok for hotel in the area. Rooms are certainly outdated and the pull out couch as a bed was terribly uncomfortable. But it's good for a weekend trip up north. The price does not reflect the standard of the room

Washroom was not the very clean in the room. Hot tub water was not clean either. Electric car charge was not flexible. It blames to Noodoe but it was really the hotel’s setting. Idle charge apply even after midnight. Expect you to move the car during sleeping time. Not electric car friendly.
