The place was filthy. The bath tub had sand or dirt from the last rental on the dirty towels were still hanging on the door. The heater unit was so loud it keep you awake most of the night. I rather of pitched a tent in the woods and saved $70.

Close to fishing at the spillway. I caught a Muskie a few steps away from our room #32, under the bridge on the Southeast side of the bridge using a floating Rapala. Bought minnows from the motel and caught a Drum on a minnow. The motel put on a great fireworks show on the fourth and we could also see the fireworks show that was on the other side of the spillway on the lake.

The room loomed nice. We paid extra to have a spa bath. Unfortunately the batb was full of dirt and alot of hair that qd had to clean out and pull from the jets, it qas super gross. The toiletries were half full and had hair stuck to the, the shower was just as bad as the spa bath. Over all i think if your wanting a really nice get away, i would choose somewhere else for the amount we we were charged.

Road trip

The shower was horrible and the lock on the door broke while there. I was afraid to leave the room as I might not be able to get back in. People were nice and location was good but it needed maintenance on some of the room features.

Good value. Can’t complain for the price.

I felt I got what i paid for. I was very old and dated. But I felt the towels and sheets were updated and clean. Floor clean. But probably not ideal for a younger wife.

This place is the most ghetto place I’ve ever stayed at. White stuff all over the black bedding, no coffee in room but coffee pot in the room. Paint on the walls looks ghetto.

The staff at the spillway motel and BAIT SHOP were friendly and helpful. we arrived super late at night and check in was not a problem. Our room was not clean, you could feel grit on the floor and a spill in front of the refrigerator was dried to the floor. beds were made but one mattress was heavily cupped in one side and the support was terrible. the tv worked fine and there was a working microwave and refrigerator. There was also complimentary coffee, single cup coffee maker. The only saving grace was the location was super close to the lake and park our event was at. Im pretty easy to please and I'm sure, with a little extra effort on the managements part this place could be acceptable to most anybody. the price was cheap by any standard for mid summer.

Below “No frills”

The place was a dump. The ceiling was sagging so bad which makes me think of tons of water damage and mold. The shower wasn’t too clean as I could see globs of soap on the wall. Bed was very lumpy and the springs were poking me. Both bedspreads had spots all over. The lady at the front desk was very nice though. The AC worked great!
