Staff was exceptional - I left my blood sugar measuring machine at the motel when we continued on our trip. I called the motel and they had put it aside so I was able to pick it up when we returned home. So helpful!
Room was clean, parking ample and the dog walking area was large. Room was very quiet even there is a busy road close to motel.
Room was clean as were groudns. Bed wasw comfrotabe as were the pillows. There was no table etc on one side of the king bed. Plenty of paking. air conditioner was quiet. the "breakfast" was underwhelming luckily there was a subway next door.
Nice room, large. Had a small kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave. We travel with our own meals. Was nice to have a sink to wash up. We travel with a dog. No problems checking in. Space to take her for a walk.
Loved the bigger size fridge and separate freezer. I carry ice packs and was able to keep them in freezer. Very clean and nice size room with table and chair with a full size coffee pot. Not one of those little one cuppers. Would stay here again.

The hotel and rooms were clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. My only "complaint" is that this hotel is NOT on the lake. The photos are mis-representing. Overall, not a bad no-frills hotel though.
It was clean. My view was of the back of a shed. At least this was just an overnight spot.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The staff were friendly and hard working - housekeeping had limited English skills. The property was clean. The front of the air conditioner/heater kept coming off. No breakfast was served. Older hotel, but clean.
Very few amenities were available.
The staff was so friendly! We had a problem figuring out the TV and they came right up to our room and worked on it until they got the channels to come in. The room was very large and included a kitchenette which came with dishes and utensils. The beds were firm, but not rock hard, or worn. We have an 85 lb dog and he was welcomed! Plenty of walking in the area too.
