8/10 Very good

Was a good place for a quick overnight. The rooms were very basic but sufficient for my families needs.

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.

All though there is a nice small lake and a fire pit, the dock is not maintained and there are not such nice walking trails, as for the rooms they are most basically cleaned, taps and such are not scrubbed clean after previous people staying. It is a room with two beds to stay in on a long road trip and did its job.

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.

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.

6/10 Good

It was lovely to be next to the river and to nature. The staff person was very kind and helpful. Prices were reasonable and the room was clean, though the motel was certainly bare bones. A separate kitchen at the end of the property housed coffee and basic breakfast fixings (white bread, jam, peanut butter, a toaster). The traffic was very loud, given the property's location along the highway and it was quite audible inside the room. There are no shopping amenities nearby, so be prepared with whatever you need for the evening and the next morning.

4/10 Fair

I didn’t expect the room to have no air conditioning, especially considering the price. Since it was summertime, the room became quite warm, and I found it difficult to sleep comfortably. I understand that the location may affect the pricing, but overall, I still found the accommodation overpriced for what was provided, particularly without air conditioning. On a positive note, the staff member who assisted me was very accommodating and helpful. I appreciate their excellent service, but I hope the hotel considers improving the room amenities or adjusting the pricing accordingly.

Staff was friendly and showed room before checking you in. For food you will need to drive a distance to find a restaurant.
