Affordable Stay at a Tourist Spot
The check is next door at the Quality Inn (same owner). Overall it is ok, the beach was acceptable, swimming pool was heated and clean.
Close to town, can walk to the ferry docks. Overall not too bad.

Nice View. Good Value and Loc. I'd Do It Again.
Great, unexpected, view of the beach and lake. Room was quiet. All expected amenities were there. It was interesting that the hotel was run from the office of the hotel next door, but the staff did a fine job of checking us in.

Great view, close to town.
Loved the view. Accommodations were clean but basic. Couldn’t access the pool and breakfast / check in was at hotel next door. Service was great, friendly staff. Water park didn’t appear to have been operating for quite some time.

Our room had a beautiful view of the beach. It was on the bottom floor and had a damp smell. The room could use a few updates. Overall I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay again.

Didn't like that we had to check in to the hotel next door for the hotel we were staying at. PLUS, it's no longer called the Fairview. It has a different name which threw us off.

Good water view
I read the previous reviews and I was skeptical. We wanted a lake view with balcony and king bed which was most important. We saw no bugs but I was watching. You check in at the next hotel. You get a coupon for BOGO entry for breakfast. The room needed much updating. The location was good.
