Stayed in Room #3, the heater made cracking noise.. making it difficult to sleep. The water in the tub would not drain properly so showering was having water to your ankles. At night time there was 2 small cockroaches in the bathroom and 1 in the kitchen. Issues reported to office staff.
This hotel was clean and comfortable. Check-in was quick and easy. The room was spacious and clean. TV and internet did their thing. The bathroom was clean and the shower had plenty of strong hot water. The surrounding area was safe and quiet and walkable. I would stay here again.
This place was amazing for my family stay. It was very clean an comfortable. My kids loved being able to wonder around the property exploring safely an the playground was a nice bonus for them. The gentleman at the front desk was always so kind an the only downfall really is the water front area isn’t where I’d choose to swim. It was pretty dirty. But drive 5 minutes down the road, an it’s perfect. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

This place has a lot of potential. It is run down, but was clean, and was just fine for the night. It was a great price for the holiday weekend. Its not the Ritz, so ignore the negative reviews, your paying for motel quality.
Place was horrible we had rats get in our food , our place was not up to date dirty our door didn’t lock so we couldn’t leave the premises because we didn’t want anyone to break in

The location was nice. They advertised breakfast but there’s no breakfast. The room was dirty, they was a water bottle behind the nightstand. Floors weren’t mopped. My kids feet were dirty after walking around the floors.
The property needs to be upgraded, there was no AC it was boiling. The Smoke detector went off and the front desk said to take the battery out. They did not clean or make the beds. We had to go to the front desk to get toilet paper. Would never book there again
Smoking right outside my room while having to keep the window open as the room was hot and stuffy. The room did have a ceiling fan outside the bathroom door but we could not feel it by the bed. I did notice other rooms had an extra fan by the window I happened to get a room without. Bring your own coffee for coffee pot. Lake is not that nicest on that side and the parking is limited. The room was clean and staff was friendly.

Had to ask twice to get toilet paper, finally got some 4 hours after we checked in. The bed had an old worn out spring mattress where you could feel each and every spring you were on.
Nora was amazing and check us in smoothly! You get what you paid for so don’t be afraid to adapt. Location is wonderful, near downtown and local stores. We were surprised room did not have AC but the weather was perfect and the fan inside was more than enough.
We liked the view of the lake. We spent a lot of our time on the balcony sitting and appreciating the nature day,night and early morning. It was neat to have a birds nest close by also. We will come back again.👍
The room smell like urine. It was the worst experience I've ever had and they don't do refunds and refused to switch my room. I stayed in my car mostly. I went there to clear my mind and relax and it was so horrible, I'll never go back. Do not recommend.
