The smoke detector was missing. The towels were tiny and very thin and had many brownish stains. The bedspread had blood stains. The bedside lamp was broken and not working. The decking and stairs were warped, slanted, cracking and peeling and did not feel safe at all. The private beach is located across the busy highway and there was no crosswalk or lights making it very very unsafe to cross.

It was a rainy chilly day when we checked in. We turned on the heat. After half an hour of blowing only cold air my husband went to the front desk. The young man came upstairs and held his hand for several minutes then declared we would have heat in 20-30 minutes. After another half hour of cold air I went to the front desk and requested a room change. I am sensitive to cold and will awaken if the room is cold. The man said they were fully booked. So I returned and turned off the cold air machine, closed the curtains, and opened the room door so the warm air in the hall could come in. We were fully dressed and reading. A woman soon arrived with keys to a much nicer room. They were not fully booked. The hall was noisy until after 10 with young children running around but eventually quieted. I arose early and went to the dining room where I fixed a cup of coffee and enjoyed a beautiful sunrise over the lake. It was apparent breakfast would not be much so we went to a terrific diner for breakfast. I would stay again just make sure there was heat.

Lesson learned! I should have looked at the bird's eye view of the hotel. It may just be me, when looking at the photos of the hotel I was led to believe that you step out of the hotel onto a deck and you're lakeside with an outstanding view! Lakeside is across a major roadway in the region! We booked for a week, for the Nascar race, and our room was very small, no chairs or desk to sit at! Floors are extremely uneven, bathroom door gets hung up on the floor! Shower is really small! Don't drop anything, you have to open the door to pick it up! No vent in the bathroom! Our main reason for the stay was to be close to the race track! That was excellent! Staff are very kind and excellent people, the over average to negative review is for the place itself! Photos are misleading, at least to me! We were "catfished!" Know what you're getting into, I will be more diligent in looking for a place to stay! Some rooms looked to be sizable, ours was not! I was planning on staying there for the week and have a nice quiet relaxing time! Our room was not conducive to that!! Disappointed!

I had a very small room. It’s was clean but didn’t have the lake view but didn’t expect one for the price. The price was very reasonable as I didn’t have much money to spend on a room so it worked just fine for me. I’m sure I will look at staying again once the weather gets cold. I hope you will still have the $80 a night or less would be a nice thought too.. 🙂

The property is located near a regal estate resort built on the same lake. Staff members were untrustworthy I think they charge more for a room that wasn’t even close to the room you booked. Needless to say I checked out early after I saw the bugs!!

the place was very run down walls needed painting could hardly move around in the bathroom the vanity would slid off in your lap as you try to sit on the toilet. there is no lake view and as a picture showing sitting by the beach not true the inn is on the other side of a busy road from the lake. the gentlemen that ran the place was amazing and he was very kind when we told him that we weren't staying and got a room somewhere else. he asked what he could do to make it better and gave us a refund.

We made our reservation a year in advance, but just a few days before our check-in date, I called the hotel to confirm — only to be told they had no record of our booking. They claimed we had canceled, which we absolutely did not. To make matters worse, Expedia was no help at all in resolving the issue. We were left without answers or support at the last minute. Extremely frustrating and unprofessional on both ends. Would not trust either the hotel or Expedia again.
