I stayed at 201 Lake Street for a week and had a really good experience overall. The location was super convenient, within walking distance to shops and the beach. The service from the staff, especially Susie, was fantastic as she was always eager to help us with queries and even booking activities. However, I faced a couple of cleanliness issues that could've been better, particularly with the towels and a few spots in the room. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for its value and friendly vibes.
