Great location. AC/Heat unit not working and it was warm in the room. Unit appeared out of order for a long time. Ceiling fan super noisy. Could only use it but at low speed and did not offer relief. Bathroom seemed clean but carpet did not. Had no breakfast included contrary to advertised. I cannot recommend this place.

Disliked: Amenities
Way too much deodorizer in the room, pool is a disgusting brown swamp full of vegetation and debris, and parking area and elevator looks like a junkyard. Whoever owns the place the property doesn't seem to care about it. That said, it's about what we expected for the price, so expectations weren't all that high.

It’s great to still have a comfortable and cozy reasonably priced lodging option at the lake. We’ll return! Our only issue was that we could not get the channel to watch the rest of the Warriors game in the room —we've never had problems watching our Bay Area team/NBA in motels across the country during bballl season.

The hotel is worn out - tatty carpets, mouldly showers, rodent traps in the hallway, broken coffee machine, noisy heater... It's on the street, seemingly designed to catch as much noise as possible. Not worth the price - or any price, really.

OK, this property is in need of some repairs (especially the stairways!), but the rooms were clean & comfortable & even though the desk was only manned gor a limited amount of hours, the staff was very helpful. Dining option accross the street on the lake was lovely.
