Nice stay at a reasonable price
Very nice stay with free bagel breakfast at a reasonable price. Location is great - just a few minutes walk to the lake. Room is clean and has microwave and mini-fridge. Only minor inconvenience is the shower flow is a bit uneven due to the difficulty of being able to pull up the toggle switch fully. Be careful when using one of the driveway to go to the back parking lot, we scraped the bottom of our car driving down the slope even at 2 mph. We actually stayed here once before over 15 years ago and it's just as nice as I remembered it to be.

The room was clean and the stuff was friendly and helpful. Location was very nice as it was walking distance to shopping but not on the main street so it was quiet.

Had a hard time finding available rooms at a reasonable rate. Checked Bluelake Inn. Blanca was great! Welcoming, friendly and professional. Liked that the inn was within walking distance of South Shore. Bagels in the morning was a nice touch!

Good American motel in good location
Typical American motel with free parking and breakfast. Friendly staff. Breakfast is muesli and bagels with cream cheese or jam, hot drinks and OJ and fruit, all of which I liked, served in a fairly small couple of rooms behind reception. Located between the lake Beach and the Heavenly Village shopping/ eating area. Good walking in the nearby hills. I recommend the hills above Emerald Bay.
