Not a safe or clean place to stay

I recently stayed at this motel and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The entire place was extremely dirty, and I had to request new clean sheets upon arrival. Throughout the night, several people walked by, causing disruptions that made me feel quite unsafe. I would not recommend this motel for a single woman traveling alone. Additionally, my room had a strong smell of smoke, despite being listed as non-smoking, and the bedding had burn marks from cigarettes. The shower was also very dirty and practically unusable. Overall, I was very dissatisfied with my stay and would not recommend this motel to others.

Nice spot on the lake

My start was great! The room was clean enough (someone left Taco Bell in the fridge). The fridge was large and cold. There was a microwave as well. A table to work at and a table to eat at (chairs for both). Right on the lake was a big plus! A lot of folks hanging out in the parking lot. Don’t bother me none but it may bother others!
