Liked: Room comfort
Disliked: Staff & service
If you are looking to stay near the state park, this motel is best, reasonably priced option. I would stay there again.
Very outdated. Door knobs were falling apart. Didn’t feel safe having our stuff in the room. Had to wait 30 mins past check in time because rooms were not ready.

Most affordable room with full kitchen in area
This offered the most affordable full kitchen stay in the area. The needs were comfortable the room was clean and the staff was friendly. I would stay here again.
That being said, the full kitchen offered a full sized stove with oven/broiler, sink and refrigerator with top freezer. However u works recommend you bring your own cooking utensils. There were no bowls of any kind, the sauce pan would have been rejected as a donation at Goodwill, it was so scratched and gouged as to make the not stick surface unusable. The baking sheet was severely warped. When i went to the office to turn in a dinner plate i found broken when i did a quick inspection upon arrival, staff said they didn't keep an inventory of what was in each room and they didn't have replacements because previous visitors often took the good did with them.
Beds were a little too firm. And one of them squeaked terribly so we were afraid of disturbing the neighbors. Definitely not worth the price. Have paid the same and less for much better accommodations.
The bed was good and the shower/tub combo worked ok. The rest of the stay was subpar. Missing the door knob on the bathroom door. The refrigerator makes a weird noise, the few utensils in the kitchen are dirty, the only chair in the room is stained and has a big rip. The remote to the TV is disgusting. Would never stay here again or recommend.
