I paid NOT to stay there…I checked in and said “Hell no!!” I checked out the room, which as horrible…the bathroom was even worse, no towels, if you were to take a shower, you would have to dry off with a hand towel…and the Fridge didn’t even have a door on it… the “lake view” room didn’t have a window were you could even see the lake…we didn’t want to catch something, so we ended up driving back to Logan.
Fridge without a door keeps your food and drinks cold
Try to dry off from a shower with these towels
Left bed was angled to the floor
Great “lake” view

Old, decrepit, dirty and run down

This place is an absolute dive. It was built 50+ years ago and has not been kept up. The mattresses and blankets seemed about that old as well. The bathroom was missing tiles. There were bugs and spiders visible around the room. When I first walked into the room, it was clear that someone had slept in the bed and the room had not been cleaned. This was the definition of a dive.

What you see is not what you get. This is over priced for what you get. Broken bed, broken ceiling fan front door doesn't lock and there is no interior lock or chain as required for security. It is not up to code with any state or licensing bureaus.

The door to the room did not properly lock and close. There were cockroaches and the only way to cool the room down was with box fans. When we talked to the front desk they couldn't care less about the state of the rooms and bushed it all off.

This is the worst place I’ve ever stayed. The carpet was disgusting and stained, the body wash and shampoo and conditioner were all nearly gone, there was no tv or internet or ac. The most disturbing thing as that it was not secure. The door kept opening off and on all night from wind or other doors slamming. The chain on the door was missing. Very unhappy. A cleaning fee was added on which was not disclosed and we paid $200 for this. The man who checked us in was efficient and nice.

Room was a mess. You are charged a $45 cleaning fee, but it doesn’t seem like rooms are cleaned all that well. There was dirt everywhere, especially the bathroom. The bathroom sink was dirty. Dead bugs in the closet, and clothes from previous patrons under the bed. No hand soap in the bathroom. Listing doesn’t mention that there’s no A/C. Listing says public WiFi, there are no options.

Don’t do it.

This place shouldn’t be on Hotels.com And certainly not for $200. That’s insane. When you pay that much you expect a bit more and this place needs a LOT of updating. I’d sort of expect this if the room price was $79. And of course I would not have rented a $79 room. Needs electrical updates, new carpet, damaged/heavily used sinks, tubs. Just needs overhauled. The amount of “differed maintenance” is huge.

Poorly maintained. Our bed was broken. We were charged extra for a supposed cleaning fee which was mentioned nowhere. There was no office to check in. I had to ask at the restaurant in the fromt where to go. They checked me in there. It was confusing because there was no sign even in the restaurant. There were broken lamps and light fixtures. No soaps or shampoos of any kind in the bathrooms. The walls were so paper thin, we could hear conversations very clearly in the next room. The people were nice but didn’t seem to have any good answers for us. I would NOT recommend this place at all. Stay away.

This was a terrible place to stay. Room was dirty and infested with bugs, which appeared to be ticks. Didn't take shower due to uncleanliness and bugs. Beds were extremely uncomfortable. Room had no A/C with weather very warm. Available fans not acceptable. No wi-fi, no tv. Door to outside had a broken lock and window without a screen and unable to lock. Outside porch light burnt out and outside grounds not maintained.

This property was so disgusting I didn't dare take my shoes off while walking around the room. I did check the beds for bedbugs and didn't find any. The shower had mold. The toilet had mold. There were stains on the carpet. The bedspreads had tears and the stitching was coming out, resulting in long threads trailing across the bed. There were only three outlets in the entire room and one of them was behind the bed and not really accessible. No airconditioning - only a box fan (on the floor). The mini fridge door kept coming open - we put the desk chair in front of it to keep it closed. I do not recommend anyone staying here. No TV. No internet. There is no access to Bear Lake from this property - you have to walk around the block and down a public street to get to the lake.

Genuinely the worst hotel experience I’ve ever encountered. Started right when we got there. The “lobby” wasn’t even a lobby , had to play a wild goose chase to figure out who to even talk to about getting my key . Apparently the motel and the pizza restaurant that is attached to the building are run by the same people who have absolutely no idea what they’re doing. They told me they double booked the room I had payed for and then gave me a key to a room that didn’t accommodate the party we had with us. I showed them my reservation and they told me there was nothing they could do and I could just cancel the reservation. Took them over an hour to even get me a key for the wrong room. The bunkbeds weren’t even full assembled , they literally were coming apart and we had 3 kids with us. There was no AC just 2 dinky box fans. And they didn’t even stock any toilet paper in the room. Needless to say , find somewhere else to stay
