The room was clean and comfortable, no issues there. This motel advertised "waterfront views", showed a photo of a small marina. That marina was about 6 blocks away, you could not see the lake from this motel. The nice patio for a picnic was a broken picnic table and a small charcoal grill. We had a highway right in front with railroad tracks running behind the highway, train whistle blast at 5:30 a.m. was not appreciated. I do not blame Expedia for this but, I am curious as to how Expedia could have helped us with this false advertisement and disappointment with this motel.

Pros: price was good for just needing a place to rest for a night. Front desk was friendly but he did not know much English. Room was easy to find. Had basic amenities like shampoo and soap and ice down the hall. Cons: Lobby and room smelled terrible. Window unit for A/C. Shower curtain was gross and needed to be replaced. Water temp/pressure could have been better but wouldn’t have been a deal breaker if it had felt cleaner.

179.00 is a little much for this property, but I had no choice. Everything was booked in the surrounding areas. And the smell when you first walk in to check is an overbearing. Lucky the room didn’t smell like that

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Check in was an utter nightmare. I had paid via expedia and even shown the staff the credit card charge, he was rude and disrespectful demanding payment. I stated that i was going to call expedia to sort out the issue which continued to irritate him and he acted as if i was not within my right to ensure that i didnt pay twice for a reservation . I called expedia and got the issue sorted out and the front desk manager continued to treat me with disrespect and rudeness as if i was a nuisance to be at this hotel. The rooms were not what i was expecting. They were old and janky. Walls painted and apots on the ceiling as if no care was taken. The wifi aignal was very low. The temperature of the room was either freezing or roasting, no in between. After staying two nights, we regretted our decision to stay at this hotel and wished we would have slept in our vehical. We were even locked out of our room at 9 am on check out day. Checl out time is at 11am. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and tell others to avoid it and stay elsewhere. For the price, there are certain expectations that you expect, ive stayed in nicer motel 6 than his hotel. There is even a random toilet on their property just sitting there. The beds were very uncomfortable additionally. Next time we will be staying at the casino which is not only cheaper but much more updated and had much more respectful staff.
