“The value here is truly something else, especially considering the proximity to the lake and the surprisingly updated rooms. I found the staff particularly thoughtful, going out of their way to accommodate a late arrival and even offering a nice perk for the adjacent restaurant. It's a clean, well-situated spot that feels like a genuine find.”
