Traveled in winter, only one outlet visible for plugging in block heater (-28c) that night. Couple of dents in wall and lamp shade peeling from inside, had to leave damage deposit but did not check room before check in, felt anxious that they might charge me, i did not get charged, so I did not have attest that was there before. They will have to improve all their flaws before charging for that deposit.

The bed is not as spacious as it seems in this picture, room too small without any hanger to place your clothing's. No reading table and better chair present but look neat anyways.

We did not stay at the Lake-Vu motel. My daughter and I got a phone call, while we were onroute, letting us know that the hotel is not staffed for late check-ins, so they could not provide us with accommodations for the night. Fortunately, we were able to find other accommodations.
