Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praise the hotel's location, especially its proximity to the airport and scenic views of the lake and float planes. The free shuttle service is appreciated, and some guests enjoyed the breakfast and restaurant views. However, many reviews mention issues with cleanliness, such as dirty carpets and unclean rooms. Service is described as slow or unfriendly at times, with some staff appearing unhelpful or overwhelmed. Breakfast quality and value for price are also criticized, with several guests finding the hotel overpriced for the quality offered. Overall, while the location is a highlight, improvements in cleanliness, service, and value are needed.
