Perfect location. The second bedroom was very dark with almost no window to open. Parking is very tricky if you have a big car. We had a Toyota highland and couldn’t park it, because there was a bigger car parked next to ours. Luckily they had extra spots available for the 3 nights we were there.

Two bedroom with kitchenette and ocean view. Older, not updated and wouldn't say well maintained - only adequately clean. Carpet old and believe it was that which smelled. I think. My husband and son fixed multiple things in the unit over the week. eg. Non-flushing toilet, closet door not opening / closing, drain on balcony clogged which with the amt of rain was a concern... We came in for ski vacation, rental SUV didn't fit in parkade so had to park down the street whole trip. Extra Parking was usually busy / tight as sharing with the motel, but they let us park there. Place is well located, so probably why priced how it was. We might stay again, but I would probably look around a bit for the price to be sure before I booked again. In my mind, I was paying a bit more for the lake / mountain views (outstanding), as I hung out a lot while the rest skied.

The location and the view were wonderful. The bathroom was great. Kitchen needs a bit of tlc. Our dishwasher didn’t work and the supplies of crockery and cultery were pretty minimal. Fresh towels were delivered daily which seemed a little excessive, especially given the cleaning left a bit to be desired.

We booked a room with a nice lake view, but it was absolutely terrible and beyond disappointing. If I could, I wouldn’t even give it one star. The description of the property was misleading and included false information. The building was extremely old, with broken windows that frequently let bugs in. The door lock was nearly broken, and we struggled to get in every time. The dishwasher was broken, filthy, and emitted a foul smell. The washing machine was also dirty, making it difficult to use. The carpets were disgusting, with dead insects scattered around, and insect remains stuck all over the walls. One of the bedroom lights was broken, and some bedside lamps didn’t even have bulbs. A small table was broken and dangerously wobbly. The kitchen drawers were falling apart, with front panels coming off. The toilet paper holder was broken, so the toilet paper was placed directly on top of the tank. The parking lot was narrow and extremely difficult to navigate. The cleaning was completely inadequate, with dust accumulating everywhere. During our stay, we developed nasal issues and suffered from dust allergies. Despite requesting the staff to fix the dishwasher and clean the carpets, nothing was done. The place was unsanitary and unacceptable. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to anyone under any circumstances. Very disappointed.

The images online were not representative of the properly which actually the lodges not lakefront apartments - it is in poor condition. Carpets a trip hazard. Leaking water through light fittings. No cooling in bedrooms. Slip hazard bathroom tiles. Quilt covers dusty. Would not recommend for the outrageous price - very disappointing property

The apartment did not look like what I booked! It smelled like old kitty litter. It was old and dated. The shower curtain was falling off, the hot plate wasn’t working but they did fix it. The master bedroom had no windows and was like a tomb. It was uncomfortable. Hotels.com should know this. It was nasty. It did have a parking spot and you could see the lake sort of. I expected a nice kitchen as well. I would never return

A real shame. This property could be great if was looked after well. Great views and location but….. Absolutely stank to the point we had to leave the balcony doors open all night and day to bear being in there, cleaned poorly to the point of some things being really gross (the sheet were clean we will give them that) and very badly maintained. Hope that start looking after the properties but until they do avoid!

There were amazing views, close to town and the bed was comfy but that is where it ended. Door had a large gap in it and it was below zero and the heater didn’t work at all. The shower head fell off the wall and the soap dispenser had been thrown off the wall. The tiles at the door were loose. Everything had been fixed in a half hearted manner. The place was very dated and even the appliances and utensils were from the 1990’s. No way this was a 4 star … more like a 2 star

Building condition was poor, the main ranch door windows had 2-3cm gaps around the whole frame. Sliders doors to balcony could not open and it looked like previous renters had used the side window to access the balcony. and the window hinges were also broken. This resulting window not able to open that well. The appartment is very tired and in need of a refit. would not stay there in the future.

We were friends traveling together and loved the spacious apartment with several balconies over looking the lake. The views were amazing. It was a quick 5 minute walk to the center of town. The only complaint we had was that the WIFI was barely usable as we were the furthest away from the office providing it.

Love the property in fact stayed there 2 years ago. Outlook over lake and mountains exquisite. Walking distance to town centre and free parking. Reception allowed us to park our car at reception after checkout, as our flights were later in the day. .The receptionists were very polite and cordial a credit to the establishment.

Awful place to stay. The property was not part of the building described (they use the same name across 3 different accomodation types). There was no checkin instructions. The receptionist was rude when we couldn’t find the location of the reception (in a seperate building to the hotel we had booked). Could not find the room way up the hill. This was because the room was in a block of units undergoing construction, surrounded by scaffolding. Dirty from construction. Heavy noises right outside the windows. No notice from reception. Avoid.

We booked this suite 6 months out from our holiday. Then, 12 hours before we got on the plane, we got a one-sentence to say that the hotel was closed for maintenance, and they moved us to another "sister" apartment. The place they put us in would not have been our choice, but we had to take it because we had no warning. We checked this apartment while on holiday, and it did appear that guests were staying there. I would be very cautious dealing with this company.

We did not stay at Lakefront Apartments! We were not contacted until we arrived in New Zealand that we had been bumped to their sister accommodation - The Lofts! Communication was disgusting and although the people at the Lofts were helpful - the apartment had a leaking roof, no cutlery to chop or slice vegetables, no plug for the kitchen sink. On the last night we had no power due to the road works this was not told to us until we went to find out why we had no power!! Would not recommend ever! Why were we not at the lakefront apartments when our booking was made 8months previous?????
