Checked in at 4:45 pm and room had not been cleaned. Had to leave for a while. Room was old, dirty carpet, furniture missing a handle, dripping stain on wall, no mini fridge, shower was awful with no place to put tiny bar of soap. Motel is right on the lake but the beach was covered in goose poop and smelled awful.

The bathroom sink was a little sketchy, and the smoke alarm was missing a cover. Otherwise, it was an awesome place

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was horribly dirty; I'm sure it had never been cleaned under the beds and along side the bed by the wall, and all floors were sandy. The dresser/fridge had residues of duct tape on it. There was no hair dryer. The overall function and look of the room was ancient.

Disgusting

Room was disgusting. Hairs on pillow, dust everywhere, and I can't describe the bathroom... Better to avoid this motel and maybe pay little extra to get better accomodation.

A pretty escape with some compromises

My girl and I took a family trip to explore the area. This was the cheapest we could find at the time, and it sort of lived up to its price-point. No problems at check-in, the staff are very friendly and accomodating. As soon as I walked into the room, I was blasted with humidity. They had not run the A/C to dehumidify the room. There was clearly mildew in the carpet, so I asked for a change of room, which the staff happily accomodated so that they could later rebook the room, as I found out. The second room was cleaner, but the bathroom had at least 3 spiders that didn't bother me. At least the microwave and mini-fridge worked. The bed sheets were clean and very comfprtable, but the bath towels were dirty before we even touched them. The view is really pretty and the place has its own fire ring you can use, but you have to buy your own wood. My last complaint is the angle of the drive-way, which is pretty common for many of the hotels/motels along the street. If you have a low-profile car, you have to come in at an angle to prevent scraping or else try the Quality Inn down the street.

Outdated

This motel, although inexpensive for the area, is outdated. It doesn't appear that any updates have been done since built. Our room was in the back building with an air conditioner that didn't work and a bed that would not be comfortable for more than one night.

Room had not been cleaned when we checked in --they just changed the sheets and put new towels in. The floor in the bathroom was dirty on arrival and there were flies and spiders in the room. The TV was broken. The beach in the Expedia pictures does not look like the current beach on the property -- which was dirty and covered in both dog and goose poop.
