The refrigerator kept quitting and the bathroom floor was mildewed and curled away from the tub
We stayed in room 19, just feet from the Hampton Inn's massive new hotel which dominates your view. Construction workers with nothing better to do than party have taken over this place. They seemed to have made friends with other transient workers who took over the beach area and were drinking and smoking weed until after midnight on a weeknight, then they stumbled into work at 7:00 am to work on the hotel. When the work day started we had a steady stream of workers walking, talking just feet from your room. The window in the bathroom had a piece of plexiglass scotch taped over the broken glass and screen is still cut from a previous break in . Floor was gritty from all the sand and the furniture looks like something you might see laying along an old country road.
The woman at the front desk wasnicee but she leaves early, not that anyone cares about public intoxication here. This place needs to be torn down and sold for a parking lot for the Hampton Inn which will be spectacular. I wouldn't recommend this place for travelers.

The bathrooms really need an upgrade. Otherwise loved the knotty pine decor.

Motel stay
Good little place on the water. Fireplace outside and a place to sit. Not too expensive. Safe. Like most of the hotels/motels in the area, everything is deteriorating and not being kept up. The staff was excellent and very responsive. She called to see what time we were coming and had everything ready.
Hotel very old and poorly kept. Room smelled very musty on entering. Bathroom was tiny with very old fixtures and a cracked squishy toilet seat. Window unit air conditioner with gaps on top,.side and bottom to the outside, not a proper fit for the window. The dwsk pwrson was nice and the mattress was the only redeeming factor.
Sometimes an old motel is just an old
motel, it tried to be a neat place, and the overall room cleanliness was ok
It would have been way more acceptable for $90 a night but for $140 I'm not so sure....
No fancy bells & whistles this was a nice clean place to stay. with comfortable beds at a reasonable price. Quiet and friendly helpful staff. Right on the lake with a seating area. Will defiantly stay here again if I am in the area
Nice older property right on the water. Comfortable bed. Small bathroom. Great views and the fire on the beach with wine was perfect. Very reasonable price and staff was super friendly.
