It's a good motel, clean, quiet, close to the lake. No extra amenities. I asked for no housekeeping but someone went in when I wasn't there one day and made up the room. On hotels.com, it says there's a garden, vegetable garden and vegetarian food, vegan breakfast, none of which was true. Still, a good place to stay close to the lake.

They had the worst box spring mattresses i have ever slept on. Did not get a good sleep which is the primary reason we book stays rather than sleeping in the car.
