We liked the campy feel of the hotel. The brewery attached with live music and pub food was the main attraction. The parking was very limited and there was no daily room servicing, we had to ask for towels, toilet paper etc... I believe it was because we were there in the off season. The staff that we did interact with were great. The cafe that was open in the morning was nice. Over it was a good stay but could use a good cleaning and a fresh coat of paint.

You’ve done a great job on refurbishing an old motel. We loved the touches of the firepits and on site coffee shop. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom remod really nice. Outlets near the bedside tables are needed and please provide do not disturb placards for the doors. Your parking lot needs resurfacing.

The room was ready early, it was very clean. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The bed in my room needs a new mattress, it has a sunken spot on one side, the rest of it was comfortable.

Wonderful hotel with live music & customer service

Normally I don't write reviews but this was 10/10 experience. The front desk guy was super sweet and funny. Super welcoming and felt at home/comfortable the whole time from start to finish. Rooms were clean and they had live music at night which was super cool to see. Was super clos to everything. You could walk to the near by stores and enjoy a night out. 10 mins from store and from the lake. Perfect location for everything. Very quite if you like comfort and want a place off the main road to relax but have all the luxuries of being right near by. Cost was reasonable but probably because off season but I was still very happy with the day we spent there.
