The location was amazing and compensated for any of the minor imperfections (dated and rather musty smelling toilet). Being so close to the lake and to all the shops and restaurants is simply amazing. For the price, it’s a great and affordable accommodation!

The property is in a great location. Close to the water, shopping, dining, etc. However it is quite dated and could definitely use a spruce-up, and new pillows. It was clean so it was ok for 1 night.

Very close to main strip and the shops. Unfortunately, it is a bit dated and there is no air conditioning so beware if you are going during summer.

If the parking lot is full there are tons of spaces across the street after 7pm (it was packed before then though). There are limited hours at the reception but they were great about leaving instructions to check in and had the key drop off for early in the morning. It was a great area within walking distance of all the restaurants and the traffic calms down a lot in the evening!

Great location and service.
Fantastic location! Clean, comfortable, friendly staff. The all-wood building creaks a lot, so be prepared for a few bumps in the night!

Liked: Amenities
Although moderately clean, the room was quite run down. The drapes were falling off the rod and the sofa appeared worn and dirty. It's right next to a busy road so the sound of traffic could keep one up all night. The bed was comfortable and the location is convenient.

Aspiring lodge was ideal for a one night stop off. The motel was very tired looking and could do with modernising.
