Best Western Plus Chocolate Lake Hotel

Best Western Plus Chocolate Lake Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was decent but could use a good cleaning in the bathroom with some hair on the wall above the door (I wiped it off) the air vent is completely clogged with some stains on the lights. The beds were comfortable and clean. The mini fridge was pretty noisy so we unplugged it since we didn’t need it. The breakfast and staff at the restaurant were fabulous. We used the gym which was not bad but could use a large fan to keep you cool when working out. Would definitely recommend this place."
