Nice place, a bit pricey. Good breakfast. But I had just lathered up full of soap I. Shower and the pressure dwindled to a dribble and then stopped. Told mgr. He came and said it was just a high demand time in the morning. I thought he might have offered me a discount on the bill. But no. And not overly apologetic. Probably wouldn’t go back

The room is clean but it’s not the room I booked. We booked a king bed with waterfront view but when we arrived they only had a room with 2 queens or a king bed with no view. The worst part is the water has been off since last night so we can’t shower or have coffee.

Lovely room - very clean. Quiet as can be. Beautiful view!! Gorgeous sunrises!! I definitely will return! (Free) Breakfast available in the morning. Nothing outrageous for variety but it fits the need! Great find for a waterfront motel.

Booked 5 rooms for a family wedding. Confusion on the names assigned to the rooms. Despite being told we didn't want our room cleaned, it was entered anyways. One of the rooms had gurgling brown water coming up from the tub. Quality of the finishing in the rooms itself is subpar. No strainer in the bathroom sink makes losing stuff a concern. Hot water in the shower inconsistent, temps would fluctuate on their own. On the plus side, the rooms were clean, the bed was comfortable...the view of the lake and the property itself is nice. The hot breakfast was overall decent, but disappointed with the lack of a waffle station and the "Mystery meat" bacon had no flavor. Overall experience was subpar...if there was no other place nearby available it would be fine, but otherwise I will seek out another location next time.

Television and wi-fi were terrible, shower was a dribble, no pressure. Toilet leaked and loosened most of the tile floor around. Breakfast was good the first day, but turkey bacon the next (tasted like cardboard) and air conditioner noisy and limited

The Trailsman Motel was fair. Pros: The property on the lake is lovely, the rooms are a good size, the room was clean, the bed comfortable, the breakfast room was large and bright. Cons: the walls are paper thin. I could hear EVERYTHING in the room next door, even snoring and bodily functions and he was not a particularly loud person. Frankly I’m not sure what can be done about it. The breakfast was disappointing as well. The fruit looked and tasted like it had been served several days in a row. The pineapple had brown spots all over it. The hashbrown patties and the sausage also tasted like they had been leftover and reheated from the day before. Luckily there was cereal and yogurt. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend it.
