Our hotel room was very dirty. Finger prints on the windows, stained bedsheets, and to top it off there was used woman sanitary products under the sink. The manager was quickly informed and even though he was very kind, no type of refund or incentive was offered. We will not be coming back.

The photos on the website must be 20 years old. Coincidentally that seems to have been the same time they stopped doing any type of maintenance. The description said the room included a hair dryer that was not present, neither was the shower curtain. Calling 3 bananas and half a loaf of Wonderbread included breakfast is a bit of a stretch, even if it is sitting next to a waffle iron that likely began rusting sometime during the Obama administration. The private beach is on the other side of a busy road where the speed limit is 40mph and all of the chairs are broken and rusted. I could go on but you get the picture…do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

Don’t recommend!

I was looking forward to our night away as the online photos looked like a cute little inn. Upon arrival, the place looked run down. We checked in and put our belongings in the room so we could head out to a concert. Should’ve just turned around and left… stains in the carpets, literally a piece of laminate covering a hole in the wall, bathroom sink drained so slow and just overall sketchy feeling. After checking in and paying the invoice on their credit card reader and being approved(checked my CC statement online), I received 4 calls that my card didn’t go through and she needed my card info. I was NOT giving it as I already paid!

This was the worst place I have ever stayed! Lakeview room???? The lake was ACROSS the highway. Advertised pics of dock and sitting area on the lake- NOT true! Dirty! Did not dare to shower. Cobwebs full of bugs across door and lock and windows. Mold in the AC unit. Paid for two nights and RAN out first thing in the morning after only one! Gross and false advertising!
