Another great visit
It's always a great place to stay at, we come up every year for a SXS trip. Rooms have always been clean and comfortable. We don't usually have breakfast in the hotel side but walk over to the bar/restaurant attached.

Last minute stay, Expedia listing was accurate and affordable. Hotel is situated on a lovely small lake with beautiful view. Room was spacious and clean. Continental breakfast was perfect for what we needed. Staff was friendly and accommodating.
We will definitely stay again during snowmobile season.
