The room was very dark inside. The only mirror to get ready was in the small bathroom. With a room with 3 beds it’s hard for multiple people to get ready at the same time.

I have stayed at this place several times in the past year, and haven't had any issues other than the one time which was super hot and the fans in the room didn't really help. But overall it has been pleasant.

Check in was quick and easy for 2 rooms next to each other. Our rooms were spacious and having lots of counter apace was very convenient. Parking was easy, even for a very large Suburban, and 2 large fans were provided as the temperature was very warm, but we stayed comfortable with these.

It's a good motel, clean, quiet, close to the lake. No extra amenities. I asked for no housekeeping but someone went in when I wasn't there one day and made up the room. On hotels.com, it says there's a garden, vegetable garden and vegetarian food, vegan breakfast, none of which was true. Still, a good place to stay close to the lake.

They had the worst box spring mattresses i have ever slept on. Did not get a good sleep which is the primary reason we book stays rather than sleeping in the car.
