Not worth the money!

No daily maid service, said it was a Lodge, not a motel, had to ask for towels, room was dirty, A/C very old, TV very small, new owners not unfriendly, but the web site did not indicate no Maid service, the morning Breakfast was a couple of very small plastic wrapped pastries, the bar was the focal point - for drinks or watching sports, right next to the main highway… Very Disappointed!

This motel is now called Okobogi inn, i think. The room we stayed in was way better than i expected considering the other reviews. Its under new management with a name and there' been some obvious renovations. Had a nice little bar and close to both Spirit lake and Okobogi lakes. The price was high, but way less than the other places that were all booked up anyway. I would recommend this for a weekend stay if you're traveling to go fishing and don't care about all the Foo Foo.

Room was damp and musty smelling. King size bed was hard as a rock. Woke up once I finally slept in pain. Noisy inside because of air unit and air dehumidifier which really didn't help.

My stay here was great. I was there to enjoy my favorite place. Okoboji and also support some friends who were playing music up there. So my hotel time was literally just to sleep, I would choose this place again because it had just what I needed. A nice, comfortable , clean place to sleep. Also, from the moment I checked in to check out, anytime I saw the lovely lady at the front desk, she was just as friendly as can be and always smiling. She was great. Thank you!
