Property in excellent location. I stayed there around 20 years ago also was looking forward to being back. Was disappointed with this visit and would not stay again. Maintenance shocking(broken chairs, toilet not flushing, carpet stretched with waves creating trip hazards just to name a few).

Great location, no hills to walk up or down while going into town. Close location to town. Kitchen poorly stocked, ie not enough glasses for all guests. New bath rooms and new carpet throughout. We would stay here again.

We were friends traveling together and loved the spacious apartment with several balconies over looking the lake. The views were amazing. It was a quick 5 minute walk to the center of town. The only complaint we had was that the WIFI was barely usable as we were the furthest away from the office providing it.

Amazing view on the lake. Comfortable two bedrooms. If you plan to cook, there is only a single pan that is quite used. Good overall but kitchen lack of utensils

The images online were not representative of the properly which actually the lodges not lakefront apartments - it is in poor condition. Carpets a trip hazard. Leaking water through light fittings. No cooling in bedrooms. Slip hazard bathroom tiles. Quilt covers dusty. Would not recommend for the outrageous price - very disappointing property

Very old and tired property. Shouldn't be classified as an apartment. It's completely not the same as per advertised. The front desk person completely not concern about my complain regarding the apartment. Completely dishonest for the whole thing. Rooms can't be lock. Some handles completely pull out. Rooms smelly. Construction happening next door and downstairs. It's totally unsafe for residents. Will never booked with Expedia again or stay at this awful place again.

The location and the view were wonderful. The bathroom was great. Kitchen needs a bit of tlc. Our dishwasher didn’t work and the supplies of crockery and cultery were pretty minimal. Fresh towels were delivered daily which seemed a little excessive, especially given the cleaning left a bit to be desired.

Payed for a premium room but didn’t receive this as apparently they were sold out. I booked 7 weeks prior and there was a room available when I booked. Didn’t get offered any compensation for this. Instead got a ground floor room. Bedroom window wouldn’t shut so my children were cold all night. Wifi terribly slow. Bathroom towel handle fell off in my hand. Was not even attached. Wooden stool had tried to be fixed using either a paper towel or toilet paper and hadn’t worked. Place was very clean though. Would never stay here again!

Misleading pictures

The apartment did not look like what I booked! It smelled like old kitty litter. It was old and dated. The shower curtain was falling off, the hot plate wasn’t working but they did fix it. The master bedroom had no windows and was like a tomb. It was uncomfortable. Hotels.com should know this. It was nasty. It did have a parking spot and you could see the lake sort of. I expected a nice kitchen as well. I would never return
