My girlfriends and I stayed for 2 nights for thunder on the strip. Very close to all of the nightlife and restaurants. Parking is tight like others said, but we never moved the car. Apparently we missed room service when they came by so we never got new towels. We walked down to the sister hotel and there was no one there to give us any. Overall we would stay again.

When we got there to check in the room had not been cleaned and it was about 4:30 in the afternoon. Staff was not aware it hadn’t been cleaned. We had an extra “hold” charge put on our credit card even though the room was totally paid for the day we booked. We went out for dinner and when we came back all the absavailable parking was taken and we had to park across the street.

I actually stayed someplace else. The description of the property and the room were very different in reality. To arrive at a hotel with a For Sale sign up is a very bad sign.

Don’t book here

The motel is no frills and I wasn’t expecting much but this place needs TLC and while yiu have an older motel there’s no reason for it not to be clean. As soon as we walked in there’s a huge spider we with bugs in it by the door. There were bugs in the shower as well. There’s a window with no covering in it that everyone walks by and an outside light so my husband used 2 hangers and pillow shams to cover it for privacy and to block the light. It is right on the water but not pretty due to trash. I will not stay here again the price was too high for what you get.

Limited amenities. It"s simply a place to stay. No staff on site. Owners of the motel are located several blocks away at another motel. My room had a key pad to unlock. I was told the code would be sent to me via email and or text. Did not happen. I had to go to the other location to get the code. Fortunately there was an employee there who had my code. I do not travel much but was bewildered by the whole process. Maybe it's part of the "nobody wants to work" mantra. Disappointing.

Didnt know its already off season

The hotel itself is small and cozy, the room was very small, but ok. Floors was nice hardwood, walls needed touched up with paint but ok. The bed was a full sz very small full sz almost like a twin my husband's feet hung off the end. And it was very uncomfortable. The bathroom wasnt cleaned and only two windows one in bedroom and small one in bathroom. I thought i booked the one with the balcony but got a window side view of the lake. Was excited about attractions but needless to say its off season, hardly nothing open so for anyone wanting to go dont go in August because we were told everything closed since school is back in and all the business help/workers went back to school. Great views of the lake and wineries, covered bridges.

Good location, nice views from the balcony, easy check in, fairly comfortable bed, tight parking area, could hear the people walking in the room above us. The floor was dirty, small window in the bathroom with no screen nor was there an exhaust fan in the bathroom.

Unbeatable Lake Views

This place is great! We had a room by the lake. Our room in particular had a kind of hall to get into the room and unfortunately the AC was in the hall so it was very hot in our room. We did have to buy a fan to sleep comfortably. Had no problems with the keypad entry. Is there actually a pool here, because we did not see it. The weather wasn't great, so we wouldn't have been able to use it anyways. Walk to bars and the strip. Tiny little beach available and limited parking. Bed was a little soft for my liking and the room could have probably used a coat of paint. Long story short, we would definitely stay here again.

Extremely Disappointed

Extremely disappointed. Check in at a different hotel 2 blocks away. Website showed lakefront with balcony. Did not receive that. Our view consisted of the parking lot. Could barely fit our vehicle in the parking lot it was so small.Website showed a pool. Again, you had to walk 2 blocks to a different hotel for the pool. No attendant at the hotel. Called because Direct TV was not working, couldnt get anyone to answer until 2 days later after we had left and we already home. Asked if we needed something. Website advertised a private beach. It was the size of a small room in a house. And access was extremely unsafe. Railing was not anchored and moved a lot. Someone could get very hurt. I absolutely would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Will be posting on Social media all the untruths on this website and the false advertising about it.

It was okay. Just manage expectations.

Eh. Kind of a trashy motel vibe, but it was clean. Don’t get too excited about the beach. It’s really underwhelming. If you don’t mind company, you can enjoy the waves from the porch. Right on the strip, so good if you like nightlife.

We had to check in at another motel to get a code. No front desk at ours. Air conditioner kept going on and off every 30 seconds. Stated lakeshore view. Yes if we opened the door and went around the corner. The place was ok because we were just staying over night. It was our first time in this area. Although we may come to the area again, we will not stay there.

I ordered a room with lake view and the room they gave me only had one window overlooking a roof then the lake. They did not clean the room the first night i was there of what was suppose to be a four night stay. They did not replenish the complimentary coffee the first night and when i asked them they told me they clean the rooms first then replenish the coffee, which they did not do, so we cslled our stay short anf weng home. Very poor hospitality towards customers.
