A Pretty Good Stay

It was a good experience overall and the front office staff were very nice. My mother did wish that a housekeeper would have come into the room to bring fresh towels and take out the old ones, but maybe not all hotels do that.

We had a pleasant stay, wish we had a microwave in our room, and maid service never came once out of the 4 nights we were there. We didnt spend much time at the hotel so didnt mind too much.

The hotel was older but the rooms were remodeled. The bathroom was new and extremely clean. The bed was very comfortable. There is a restaurant/bar right behind the property which was really nice.

Old, tiny, smelly.

The only redeeming feature of this hotel is its location, on the lake in a quiet location. The “inn” itself is a dump. Smelly, dirty, tiny. I’ve seen worse, but not by much. Works if you are in a pinch, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you have other options.

Just okay.

We had booked two rooms and only one was on their list. Fortunately, there was another room available. Casey was very helpful on getting the problem rectified, except for the mixed up phone call at 9:40pm telling me the other couple we were with had yet to check in. I will be watching my credit card statement to assure I was only charged once. Found out there was no cleaning service for stays over one evening, but they would provide more towels if needed. This should be conveyed prior to booking. A/C unit was extremely loud. Overall, the rooms were very clean, but the building could use a little work.

Pleasant and quiet stay here. Easy in and easy out with good parking. Restaurant just steps away with views out over the marina and the lake. Tech is a bit dated and the room has no USB ports. Bring chargers if you have gadgets. Staff very friendly and helpful.
