I don't understand the fuss with the bad reviews. I booked a room there and saw things for myself. I got a smoking room, but the owner switched me to a non-smoking room when I told him I was never a smoker. People don't appreciate having a decent cheap hotel at a popular tourist spot right in front of the lake. For its location, the price range could have been much higher. The hotel owner cares for you, people!

The best part of my stay was having a real KITCHENETTE! The kitchenette contains:
▪︎a cooking STOVE! 🤩
▪︎ cooking pots and pans! 🤩
▪︎extra utensils like spoons, forks, plates, mugs/glasses
▪︎ dish drying rack
▪︎ dishwashing liquid
▪︎ a kitchen sink with a faucet
▪︎ a microwave
▪︎ a mini fridge (that is much bigger than what they usually have in hotels)
▪︎ a bread toaster
▪︎ a small dining table and chairs

I have stayed at big hotels, but most of them NEVER had a kitchen sink! I dislike using the bathroom sink for washing my utensils and water bottles when I need to. You don't have to use the extra wares, but they are handy in case you need them. The extra bed disguised as a big closet is a nice surprise.

Nice view of the lake from the top porch! That night, the aurora showed up right above the lake, and I took pics from the top porch as well. Who would think I'm paying cheap for this view???

I will stay at this hotel again.
Thanks for reading!
