The rooms and the grounds could use a good cleaning and some updating. Overall, for the price paid, it was a decent, last-minute stay during a popular time.

The area of the property was OK as for the property itself. Our room was horrible. Dirty floorbed sink in the middle. The drapes kept falling off of the windows. If you use the microwave, it popped the breaker.

The dishes that were stored away were un organized and extremely dirty. The plates had food and grease on them. Room was out dated and kind of dirty. Had no shampoo, conditioner or soap. We had to ask for it after our showers. On the upside, great location. Everything is walking distance. Great Lake view from balcony. The family that owns it seems very nice. Hotel has such great potential!

Malo
No servía el baño, increíble pagar $200 por una noche y no poder usar el baño. La tv se desconectaba prolongadamente por lo que no pudimos ni siquiera ver TV. Llamamos a recepción por el baño inservible y llegaron con un destapador, hicieron un desastre en el baño que ni siquiera se dignaron a limpiar, había una chica y un chico y solo se reían y hacían cara de asco, pensé que nos iban a cambiar de habitación pero solo dejaron un destapador y se fueron, el cuál no utilizamos porque el baño quedó con un olor horrible. La habitación olía mal y las sábanas también. El hotel está en una buena ubicación, pero es solo eso, lo demás fué pésimo. Definitivamente no vivimos una experiencia grata.

Needs a deep cleaning
The motel was typical and the only redeeming feature was the hot tub. But the main problem is that the room was dirty. Staying there for a couple of days triggered our allergies. The vents were dusty. The utensils in the kitchen were dirty. The floor was dirty

Great price and no minimum stay. The 2 bdrm was great and comfortable. Very clean and great view. Will definitely be back to stay. The reception are could use some clean up and update but doesn’t affect anyone’s overall experience there. I was able to order food while there. Highly recommend the lodge.

Don’t expect too much.
If you just need a quick last minute place this is it. Room was not vacuumed floor was not moped. Place is maintained not kept up to impress.

The hotel itself is a bit dated, but that adds a bit of charm if you don’t mind a more classic feel. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, which is always a priority for me. The staff is warm, welcoming, and attentive, making sure guests feel at home. If you’re looking for a centrally located, budget-friendly option with friendly service and clean accommodations, this place is a solid choice!
