Will definitely be back. Our room was very spacious and had a fully equipped kitchen. The price accurately reflects what you get but was very clean and no complaints for the location. Walls were kind of thin but everyone seemed to be on the same schedule so was no issue.

This hotel is a dump! Cockroaches and mice kept me company all night! The plumbing was either in need for repair or didn't work at all. I couldnt imagine such a place in beautiful location. It's needs either to be torn down or remodeled.

I have eaten pancakes thicker than the pillows, the carpet, sheets, tv, shower and general room esthetic felt very worn down and in need of a refresh. However, it was the cheapest option, so perhaps it is a 10/10 for budget, but 3/10 on all else. Staff was fine, it felt safe, it was the lowest priced option, but don't expect much else.

The toilet was broken and the owner wasn't responding to phone calls either. Everything in the room is bad, the light fixture, the shower stall is moldy, the wall is thin, the heater makes noise all night long. Oh god, such a horrible place to spend the night.

The location is nearly perfect! The rate was incredible. The only thing that wasn’t ideal was the lack of A/C but we knew that going in. The service was great. The room was nice and clean. Literally across the street from the lake shore and a little park. Would definitely recommend!
