I stayed for 3 nights and the property was very clean and within walking distance to many sites and local shops near the lakes. The contiental breakfast was adequate for my needs and room was very clean and staff including housekeeping was performed well! I just wish that the weather would have been better during my visit during the latter part of May.

For the price I paid, I can’t complain. It was clean. Just older. Breakfast was SUPER small, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. Overall I don’t have any complaints.

Manoj

Disliked: Amenities
The property location is ok. It’s an old motel. The room we had has 3 things to connect to the 2 power jacks. So we could only connect 2 with a fair bit of efforts as the power points were behind the refrigerator. The office has limited open hours time and they serve muffins and doughnuts for breakfast only from 8 AM. Just a basic motel nothing fancy about it.
