Affordable place to stay in the area. Rooms were comfortable enough but facilities are a bit run down. Staff works hard to keep things clean.
Great place, stopped over for the night. Comfortable beds and complimentary breakfast.

Check in was easy,friendly service. Room was a good size. Beautiful view of the lake with a back deck. Comfy beds. Decent breakfast. We would stay again.
Room was very clean with a beautiful scene of a lake. But no microwave made slightly uncomfortable due to that not many restaurants were near the motel except the motel's own restaurant. The motel restaurant seemed offering only breakfast. Other than this everything was very good!
To be eco friendly, there should be a container for recycling.
The hairdryer holder in the bathroom is hanging by screws- about the fall off and needs repairing.
Property is very well located with a great view. Motel is in the process of being renovated. Room I occupied was of decent size however, the bathroom was rather small. Breakfast is buffet style with similar food choices to Best Western.
Lovely roadside motel. Friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Beautiful location on the lake with a dock. We had a deck on the back of our room. Very nice
