The location is excellent and the staff are very friendly. However, the motel is a bit old, and since it’s pet-friendly, that might explain it.

Basic expensive motel

This is a room for dogs. It’s a basic motel that has been cosmeticly fixed up. Because it’s dog friendly the baseboards have been chewed lots. But at 200/night rather expensive

Beach Front with Customer Service

Our room was excellent. Old, but clean and right across from the beach. The staff really set this hotel apart. They were so incredibly accommodating and suggested a different room than we had booked for our needs. They went out of their way to host us for the night as for the size of room we wanted they normally require a 2 night stay! We can’t praise them enough. They are great people with a lovely hotel on the beach. They even let us have late checkout leading up to a long weekend. We can’t recommend them enough. Book!

We enjoyed our stay at Raccoon Lodge Motel. The location was excellent, being across the street from the lake and within walking distance to many great eateries. The operators were very kind and flexible with our needs of travelling with our cats. They were very responsive to our questions prior to our arrival as well. The motel is dated and could use some upgrading but the room was spacious and clean. Overall, we would stay there again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Was there for a little weekend getaway. The staff was incredible, very friendly, upbeat and accommodating! While not the best stocked kitchenette we had everything we needed to make simple meals. We were warned of noise coming from across the alley from the bar and the band playing but it certainly wasn’t enough to disturb our sleep. I would stay again during the quiet season only because I would imagine being right across from the lake it would get noisier in the busy summer months and I would want someplace where I wouldn’t hear loud car and motorcycle noise. But if you wanted to be close to the action and very reasonably priced and clean this is the place to be.
