We got there Tuesday night and they had karaoke in the bar. I'm reasonable, I understand other people use the space. When I asked, hotel clerk said it was done at 11pm. At 11:10 I asked what time it was really ending. All I got was "soon" I think expecting a hotel to be relatively quiet by 11pn on a week day is quite reasonable. I became a Karen and asked to speak to the manager, he was unavailable, and I never heard back from him. It did finally quiet down by 11:30pm. 2nd night was OK, they had Trivia night but it wasn't too bad. The A/C is not that great, and the water pressure is pretty low. I did find a slide on the 2nd day that did increase water pressure. Soap in the BR was bar, that was kind of gross. I would not stay here again, but I guess if you're up late, it may work for you.

Please wash the bed coverings!!!

Lobby was nice. But… the bed coverings and the accent pillows in my room smelled like they had not been laundered in years. The smell of body odor of previous guests lingered in the room. The carpet in the room was a little sticky. Repairs Ned to be made to the rooms for sure. The best part of the stay was the view of the lake in the morning.

The lake is beautiful. We've got to see the sunrise two out of our three mornings that we were there. Just gorgeous. They have entertainment on Friday and Saturday night and surprisingly on Sunday night they had karaoke. We really enjoyed watching people sing and dance. The bartender was awesome.

The Beautiful View baited me to book this room.

This motel is clearly not ACA compliant. No security bar in the shower area. No elevator for the 2nd floor. The linens are 3rd rate heavily used. The floor mat in the bathroom was practically a rag. Dingy & ragged. The coverlet on the bedroom was dusty. I had to buy my own cover. The air of the room was filled with polluted dust, cycling through out. The bathroom door was broken. And the drain was all rusted. And the overcharge for the 3rd day was egregious. $135 to $450.00. We were scammed. And we didn't try the food.

no closet no towel racks no desk or desk chair. no fridge or microwave. We had to go to the bar and ask for ice. We were there three days and they did not service our room, empty the garbage, make the bed or check for towels. They did have an excellent breakfast each day.

Overall a good stay, I had a connection room and those door were absolutely horrible! Paper thin! The family next door was up all night talking and watching TV and I could hear everything. I was so exhausted from a full travel day I just used pillows to block out the noise instead of walking all the way back downstairs as there’s no elevator. Avoid their connecting rooms!
