The room was simple but clean and spacious, with a comfortable bed and all the basics I needed — mini-fridge, microwave, good Wi-Fi, and cable TV. The heating worked well, and I appreciated the easy check-in process.

DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!!!

I paid over $200 and this place is a run down former super 8 motel, not a hotel. The carpet was stained, the walls were patched and not painted/fixed. There is no staff but rather someone who appears to live there. No hair dryers. Ice machine and bucket were disgusting. This place is awful and should not even be listed on hotels.com. DO NOT GET A ROOM HERE!

Sketchy hotel, fire exit door won't open

I did not stay here because I did not feel safe when I tried to go out the fire exit door next to my room and it jammed. In addition, there were no rooms available that had windows looking out onto the parking lot-- I wanted to be able see my car. I requested a refund, but the manager refused. Hotels.com understood why I felt unsafe and gave me a credit for the value of what the motel charged me.

Great breakfast place right next-door and fantastic location close to the lake. When we checked in, there was two dogs barking in the room next-door. Staff moved us to a different room with no problem. When we got to the new room, the smoke alarm was beeping and for some reason the alarm went off at 4 AM in the morning and then again at six. Despite this, I’d probably stay here again due to price and proximity to lake
