This place is a low end but expensive motel not worthy of even an overnight stay. There is one broken elevators for staff and guests for several floors and you can hear a very loud boiler room noise right under your bed. It was impossible to get any sleep. No breakfast is included in the price and you need to wal to a restaurant to get breakfast for $20 per person. Add this to your cost. Shower shoots had of its water to the ceiling in a tight shower space.

The property itself is great and I really want to give it a good review, however, the night I stayed, there was road work just outside the hotel all night until after midnight. The frontdesk was nice enough to offer me earplugs, but the noise was so loud and consistent that I wasn't able to relax or sleep until it finally quieted down closer to 1am. And I was glad I only had to stay one night on this trip. I'd stay here again for everything else was great, I'd just double check to make sure they aren't doing work outside all night.

This is an honest property for the budget. Room and bathroom are functional and fairly clean. Convenient parking that includes covered area. The greatest asset is the position walking distance to several restaurants, shops and front lake. Friendly personell. To get more stars needs air conditioning and updated heating unit; I didn’t use it but looks old and noisy. Building fixtures are dated.

Disappointed not as per usa standards.
First of all no AC at all....Thank god I gravelled in early sep not sure about anyone who travels between May to Aug...2 queen bed but only 1 table fan. The front desk has not even shared the wifi details as part of check in checklist. The cleaning lady entered in our room before we checked out. The bathing shower has very low pressure. The front desk lady was too talketive. Lastly I was overcharged on my credit card as compare to my booking amount.

We had an excellent stay at peppertree. We were not looking for an eye and resort-like experience, but a convenience comfortable place to spend the night for one night. It surpassed our expectations based on other reviews. We planned it well and got the texting between the staff and us where we could communicate well and checked in in the hours that there was staff at the hotel. We were up on the 5th floor which had a beautiful view. It was very quiet convenient to some great lakeside places and at night we had no noise of any kind and a comfortable stay. It was a perfect stay for us. Communication was also great.
