It was nice to have a dining option across the parking lot from hotel, but the walk across the lot was very icy. The room was clean & comfortable, but very noisy! Between the noisy fridge (which we finally unplugged) and the voices/noise from the hallways it made sleeping almost impossible. We checked out early the next morning & were still charged for the 2nd night. Even though we told them it was too loud to get any sleep.

Okay for an quick overnight

Nice enough for an overnight stay. Staff was kind and friendly. The worst part was nearly being gassed out of our room as someone with a diesel vehicle thought it a good idea to run their vehicle outside our window for 20 minutes with all the exhaust entering our room. It’s could use some updating but we were only there for 13 hours so we could overlook that.

December stay

Small cozy room. Very clean. Front desk personnel were very friendly. Rite on the lake. Thinner walls, but not terribly loud.

It's a good place to stay

This is a good hotel. It's a bit dated, but you can tell that they are updating the things that matter. The room was very clean, had no smells, which is great, and was toasty warm. The rules for having my dog with me in the room were fair and I believe they made the hotel a nicer place to stay. It was an easy walk to the main street of Washburn and we could easily explore on foot from the hotel. We were warmly welcomed and I would stay here again. The photos of the rooms shown online are accurate.
