I rated this room as 5 stars while keeping the price of the room in mind. I paid $99 + tax and got a clean functional room with a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, TV with basic cable, an air conditioner, and two very comfortable queen sized beds. It's a great deal for the price. So often I see reviews where people pay a low price for a room and then complain they're not staying in a $250 room. I've learned to ignore these clueless individuals. In short, if you want a clean room with basic amenities and friendly staff, you've come to the right place. Next time I'm in the area, I'll be sure to stay here again. I rate this place is excellent!

Expedia, strongly recommend you pull this listing from your site! I have trusted your advertised sites and been completely satisfied until now. Pictures on your site were totally deceptive. The “pool”was empty of water and surface was cracked; pool deck was full of garbage , so had been that way for some time. There was no “fire pit” but a dirty gas grill surrounded by broken rusted old kitchen chair- no tools to clean or grill with. The exterior was dilapitated with rain gutters almost fully detached. The room we were given was NOT the room I reserved on line. Instead of what looked like a clean, standard room with 1 king size bed, we got a room with 2 queen beds. The bedspreads were stained; the dresser was severely damaged with broken handles, 2 drawers were actually filled with putty around the edges so you could not open them. The bathroom window was broken and boarded up with plywood and wanting a shower after a long day of hiking and driving, when I turned on the water, bugs crawled out of the drain. Lastly, pulled the sheets and mattress cover back- BED BUGS EVERYWHERE; multiple mattress stains. Needless to say - we promptly left. The management was completely unforgiving .

I stayed here in July when it was over 100 degrees outside. Room had great AC. Great location I went to the dam and took the tour. It’s 10 minutes away from dam or fishing at the lake. 2 minutes from the motorcycle shop. Very clean. Great WiFi. Very nice staff. Room had separate dining and kitchen area with fridge, freezer, microwave. Clean room and bathroom. Nice tv with lots of channels. I will stay here wherever I’m in the area. Very convenient. Walk to food options, gas station. Felt safe. Was easy to work on the laptop. It was quiet. Very enjoyable experience. Great value at this place. Better than more expensive chain motels and hotels that I’ve stayed at. And the best location for visiting the lake for fishing, boat ramp, or dam for tour and hiking.

Health department should shut down this place

I didn’t stay. I checked in, then saw the condition of the room, with dead bugs on the floor and bedding. Floor was stained. At 10pm the room was extremely hot and stuffy because AC was left off on a hot day. I rejected the room and went to another motel (Super 8).
