It's a great price and the rooms are very clean and not too dated. The staff is the selling feature - I always saw people working hard and Neil, the owner, helped me in an emergency situation and his kindness will not be forgotten. Thank you, East Lake Inn :-)

This is a very low quality motel. The windows in room did not lock, the doors were not secure and the chair was not even tall enough to shove under the door handle. The first thing you sign is a “no refund” paper before you get to even see the room, that should have been a clear sign of what was to come.
