Loved the water front view and location, lots of stuff within walking distance. The room could have been cleaner. Bathroom/shower was tiny. Hot water lasted all of 5 minutes. Minimal breakfast selection (packaged muffins/donuts)

Old motel. Needs updating. Room was clean but the bed was terrible. Close to many good ammenities. But it is not worth the price. Room was so small you couldn't sit at the table and work. The staff was nice. good location. No soap, shampoo or coffee in the room. Out dated and the wifi was not good.

Super cute and clean room, friendly staff, gorgeous views from my waterfront room. Everything worked except one side light by the bed, no big deal. Shower diverter installed backwards, just turn to cold setting to get hot water. I will stay here again!

A place to stay.

It’s a place to stay. It was clean and the staff were friendly. Affordable and the view from the back patio is beautiful. It’s within walking distance of everything, which was nice. We’d stay here again!

The room was clean but it was room basic, there was a bucket for ice in the room but there were no cups in the bedroom or the bathroom. The bed was comfortable. I was told breakfast was donuts and coffee and since I saw a donut shop around the corner I was looking forward to a homemade donut. I was quite surprised to find the offerings consisted of store bought packaged donuts and pastries - mine had an expiration date of 4/6/26 and today's date is 4/22/26

My husband stays here every year for fishing. It might be a little older, but it's a great place to stay on the lake. It's within walking distance to everything you need.
