For a cheaper hotel, it was very nice. A little out dated but comfortable. 10 minute walk to a huge beach was a great perk.

It was okay. Good place to sleep and shower. The double room beds are small. Two adults could not fit in one bed. The WiFi was spotty. The tv repeatedly searched for service.

Close to Gladstone lakefront, food options within walking distance. Quiet. Beds are a bit high up so if you are short and handicapped it’s a bit of a struggle getting up into bed. Staff is friendly and helpful

Nice, spacious, comfortable and clean. Everything you need. We just stopped for a night on our travels but check in was super easy and the room exceeded expectations. Don't let the motel vibe scare you away (unless you are looking for room service). The room temperature was comfortable when we got there which is unusual. Super cozy, I would stay here again

The hotel was great and convenient for where I needed to go, but the only downside was that therl trains passing through would blare their horns in the early morning making it hard to sleep in and relax.

It was very clean. A little dated but clean. Continental breakfast needs some work. Value was great. The pictures under property description makes you think its on the water with docks. Its not on the water, your blocks away from the bay. A little misleading. The staff were very nice and accommodating. I would stay again. .

It was not bad for one night but I wouldn’t want to stay a week. The bed was comfortable and water was hot. I think if I was visiting that area in he future I would find other accommodation.
