6/10 Good

I can't say enough about the young man who checked me into the motel. Really went above and beyond to make sure I knew where everything was including the kitchen. It's a beautiful spot. My guess is that it is under new ownership and they are working on upgrades. Once they're done this will be an awesome motel.

These people are trying. Old motel with new owners doing their best to provide a clean comfortable sleep. Not a resort by any means, but a good place to sleep on your journey.

4/10 Fair

I was disappointed that there was no microwave when one was listed in the amenities. The electrical outlets were not fully working and extension cords were being used which made plugging in our phones difficult. The beds were clean and comfortable but the room was not good value for the money.

I absolutely loved this place! So beautiful and the separate kitchen was so welcoming in a diner setting. Love it!! Grounds are amazing. Such a gem, right off the highway.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

At first glance it seemed ok. There is a nice view of a small lake. The beds appeared clean. But go to the back where the bathroom is and it’s a different story. There was no hot water in the sink. The hot water tap did not shut off., The floor in the shower area was filthy and there was black mould on the window in the shower.

Lovely lakeview. No AC, but that was okay as it was cool. Bathroom was clean. Beds were somewhat comfy. Lots of mosquitoes, but with it being right next to a lake, that is to be expected.
