Tired property, room did not have lake view and was very dark. Breakfast is on the 3rd floor of a nearby hotel. Needs a refresh.

Disliked: Amenities
The room we got looks like it hasn’t been occupied in a long time and never been cleaned again since. Corners are dirty, carpet is dusty and has a musty smell.
Older motel that isn’t cared for. No house keeping! When I asked about the room not being cleaned, was told “we don’t do that anymore more.” Breakfast was bad in every way. Skip it .Nothing good to say.
We had a good night's rest and the staff were pleasant. The curtains were too long and covered up the AC unit. There was a floor tile missing in the bathroom.

Property on the water was great to see the fireworks show for the 4th of July.
Breakfast was in another building up the stairs, and it had poor air conditioning. Apart from that all was good.
The water temperature in the shower rotated between freezing cold and scalding hot. It could not be regulated.
The sink faucet was very hard to turn off.
The room definitely needs updated, if not, then a good cleaning.
The instant I walked into the room I was disappointed. I was overwhelmed by a musty smell. It was obvious that the cleaning that had been done is bare minimum. It was very grimy. The pool was very hazy as well. There was continental breakfast but we had to go next door to another hotel to get it.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Definitely not the lap of luxury. And room and bathroom were clean as far as I could tell. Just needed a place to rest my head and it fit the bill. Still too expensive for the amenities offered.

Property needs maintenance. Carpets in room and hallways needed cleaning.
For the most part staff was excellent. Room was decent. Coffee maker in our room was faulty. Had to hold cord just right or it didn't work. Coffee was tasteless like tea. The rest of our stay was fine other than
ignorant guests. Left a day early because I couldn't enjoy my balcony (that you pay extra for) because of the ignorance of other guests. Throwing rocks at birds and our balcony (ground floor). My 84 year old mother was uncomfortable. I do understand it's not the motels fault but no matter what we said the father wouldn't stop them, he actually encouraged the 2 teenage girls. Shouldn't always rate the staff, something needs to be done about ignorant guests!!
Everything was perfect. Come check out to when we left. I would say it’s easily one of the better hotels I’ve stayed in at this price point. The property is right on par.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading some of the reviews but our stay here was pretty good. I booked this hotel because of the location, we liked that we could walk pretty much anywhere we needed to go. I liked having a balcony and being on the water. The room was pretty clean but could probably use new carpet or a deep cleaning. The toilet seat was cracked but we were out and about for most of our stay so it didn’t bother us.
