This motel was in a very beautiful area overlooking the lake. The room had a small kitchenette with dishes included. Don't let it's vintage appearance fool you, it was very comfortable and warm. The walls are thin so if you get noisy neighbors it would probably not be as serene but we had very quiet neighbors. The check-in and out was a breeze. We had a very nice time and will definitely stay here again. The rooms could have used a bit more cleaning but it wasn't filthy. Thank you for having us!

Will definitely be back. Our room was very spacious and had a fully equipped kitchen. The price accurately reflects what you get but was very clean and no complaints for the location. Walls were kind of thin but everyone seemed to be on the same schedule so was no issue.

This hotel is a dump! Cockroaches and mice kept me company all night! The plumbing was either in need for repair or didn't work at all. I couldnt imagine such a place in beautiful location. It's needs either to be torn down or remodeled.

I have eaten pancakes thicker than the pillows, the carpet, sheets, tv, shower and general room esthetic felt very worn down and in need of a refresh. However, it was the cheapest option, so perhaps it is a 10/10 for budget, but 3/10 on all else. Staff was fine, it felt safe, it was the lowest priced option, but don't expect much else.
