This motel is made up of several buildings going down toward a small lake. The motel is relatively old, but rooms are clean and spacious. They need some remodeling and small repairs, but nothing serious. I recommend taking a couple of clothes pins to secure the curtains while keeping them above the AC unit. The restaurant/bar next door is worth visiting at least once

The room was very outdated and needed some repairs: toilet and sink was very low to the ground, no plug for the bathtub: over all I think that the cost was way over priced for the shape of the room:

This property doesnt look that great from the outside, and I can't speak to other rooms, but our room was fabulous. Large w small kitchen area and a full sized fridge, what a treat that was. I suspect this motel is slowly renovating rooms and is also renting some on a long-term / live-in basis. I was not afraid to wander from our lakeside room up to the office area for ice, people were friendly as I walked by. The front desk manager was friendly also, as was their happy little dog. While there were no oueside chairs for relaxing in the evening sun, there is a bench across the street overlooking the lake as well as a nice fishing deck and a walkable to beach. If you want luxury, this place is not for you. But if you want a clean, comfy room, with coffee, microwave, fridge and large tv, to spend your evening in comfort and have a good sleep, then please try this motel. I agree with other comments though, the pullows could be fluffier. Oh well.

Looks nothing like the photo. Run down. Most guests appeared to be long term. Grounds dirty. Room smelled moldy. Over priced.

This was my first time at a motel and thanks to this place, I'll try it again. Pros: CLEAN, firm cozy bed, Smart TV with streaming apps so you can login, pleasant stay & check-in process, strong WiFi, full sized fridge\freezer, small microwave, separate sink & counter outside the bathroom. Cons: Pillows were quit flat.

It was convenient but needs upgrades. There was a little mouse that showed up in the night and that was a bit unnerving. The towels were good though. Used one to put under the door to try and keep the critter at bay!

This place has the title of motel, so my expectations were low, but to my surprise the room was well put together and wonderfully clean. No question, we will stay here again

Our room was facing the water which was across the street, so technically that was the water view room. I think there were permanent residents there which made us feel a little uncomfortable. The room was tired, but the beds were comfy. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

It was a good place to stay, had all the amenities we needed and super friendly staff. The room always felt damp but i think thats from all the rain that had been recieved, it was roomy and clean, better than the pictures.

My Stay
I was traveling with my dog. My room was located on the lakeside of the property which was a nice touch. I was able to walk my dog easily to the lake and enjoy the view. The only issue I had was that my room was surounded by a crew of people that woke me up at 5:30 am with tons of slaming, banging and stomping while they were getting ready for work. This was on a Sunday morning... Other than that... I was pleased with the place.
