Everything was well spaced out. Lots of games, grills, firepits and quiet. The only thing we didn't like is when the air-conditioning kicked in there was an odor.

It was quiet and staff was very friendly. Check-in was easy and quick. I was thrilled to be able to plug in my EV car to charge overnight, even if was only into a 110 outlet - that’s more than 99% of the rest of the Lakes area offers! Bed was comfortable.

Nicely remodeled; nice pool, great outdoor area with fire pits and games. Great value for the cost. There wasn’t an accessible ice machine which would have been nice. Overall, would return!!

It’s a nicely remodeled motel. Rooms are tiny and bathroom extremely tiny. Great location. Staff was mostly friendly. I didn’t eat breakfast as it was only processed foods but they have a typical continental b’fast. Cool options like a small pool and firepit. Overall good stay.
