Having a full kitchen, a living room and a separate bedroom was amazing for our stay. The lake view is breathtaking. Staff was proactive and friendly. We had a pretty good stay! Thank you.

Beautiful view, nice beach area. Motel is in desperate need of a facelift. For what we paid for 1 night, I would expect a much nicer condition condo.

The suite was very nice but dated! It was clean and quiet and the kids loved the pool. Needs some deep cleaning and updates but the staff is outstanding!
Colleen, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel is older and could use some updates. But it was clean. Was concerned being right on a main drag, but was surprisingly quiet in our room. There is a barrier between the rooms and the road. View from patio was awesome. Got pics of a beautiful sunrise right out our door. Lots of baby ducks to make us smile as well.
Angel, 1-night trip
