Cute hotel an

A cute hotel on Golden Lake with views from the room. Low pressure on the washroom taps and seemingly not a lot of hot water for a shower Exhaust fan in room needed some cleaning.

Gary, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Don’t be fooled by the website.

Stopped for one night. Definitely would not recommend. Dirty, not very friendly staff at the check in nice lady on duty in the morning. Breakfast was an experience, muffin, banana, coffee out of a dirty coffee pot and a limited choice of cereal out of 3 old beaten boxes, actually looked like the breakfast was put together from what they could find in the owners kitchen cupboards, this did give us a chuckle though as never seen anything like it. Biggest complaint is how dirty the place is. Clean bedding and towels but everything else was dirty, old and tired. Great view of the lake and nice (misleading) website.

Disappointing visit to The Sands on Golden Lake

Lovely spot but invaded by Canada Geese so lots of poop on the beach. Restaurant was sub par. Asked about early checkin and was told no the maids need their time— no Im sorry but—- when I commented the chicken wrap tasted off the manager said he trued it and it was fine. Lovely view though.

I never actually met a staff member as I had a late check in and just had to put my key in a basket the next morning.

Golden lake is the best option to enjoy summer time with family and friends. The option of the chalet is great for a family and the magnificent lake is the most enjoyable experience.

2/10 Poor

Had my installation crew up here for a couple of days on a big job. They just reported back to me that the hotel did not have running water or electricity in the room. No generator and staff is very hard to find. They had to go to the golf course to use the washroom. very disappointed

Like that it was on the water, very nice views of the lake. Would like to have seen a luggage rack in the room.
