I have stayed at this hotel several times before. The rooms are always clean and maintained in great working order. The check in process was easy and friendly. I appreciated the bag of ice daily for my cooler. Regular size refrigerator is an amazing plus for the room. I was able to bring salads from home that stayed cooled. Huge plus. The room was quiet and faced the lake.

This motel is definitely an older motel but it has great character. Check in was very easy. Beds were comfortable. The room was very clean. It was homey. We parked right outside our door with easy access to come and go. Our view was the lake so it was great to see right away in the morning.
