Stayed here last year at the same time and was nice with the updates they are doing to this place. They did communicate during this years outage with my airlines and we were able to resolve the issues with all of that with no worries even with a extremely late check in.

When I showed up there there was nobody there you had to call a phone number but somebody came by and let me in and knocked on the door to get them I asked about ice they said they have a hard time keeping up with the ice due to temperature don't know what type of ice machine they have and the laundry is inside the office if you would like to do laundry you have to set up a time with them to do your laundry the beds are uncomfortable didn't sleep well woke up the next day tired and with a sore neck for the three nights I stayed there place was clean and the staff is nice to late at night I could constantly hear doors opening and closing for people going outside to smoke don't know what time this goes on to cuz once I fall asleep noises don't usually disturb my sleep unless it's pretty loud everything functions properly the fridge the AC and TV everything seem to work good

People smoke outside of the AC unit so the room smells like stale smoke. The carpet was sticky. The toilet ran non stop. The deadbolt was attached to the doorframe which was no longer fully attached to the wall. Night staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was ample and well lit. Air conditioning kept the room cold during a hot spell. Mini fridge WITH separate freezer! The sheets were clean. Foam mattress. Very quiet the night I stayed. Called to inform them of needed repairs and was told my complaints would be relayed to management.

Stayed here for a night for a fishing trip north on the lake. Rooms were comfy, climate control was great. TVs worked. For the price perfect for a night or two if you’re looking for a place just to sleep for a few nights. Would definitely recommend this place for a few night stay if you have other things to do for the day in the area. Can’t beat the value.

Upon check in I discovered that someone had, indeed, smoked in the room I was given. I'm very allergic to cigarette smoke and I asked to be moved. Sophia was wonderful in doing that quickly!

Avoid this motel like the plague. The owner charged me a week after checkout and alleged I stole the microwave and four pillows. They are running a racket and you will suffer the same fate if you stay here.

We had a late check in and forgot to call about it. Our GPS steered us wrong ( I think it was an old property) but the sign on the door led us in the right direction. No one was at the office when we arrived but she came out as soon as I started to call the number on the door and she was so kind and apologetic. The room was spectacular; clean and roomy. Best motel for the price. To be fair on the area around, we didn't see much cause it was late and we left early.

Overall experience with the property was good. Had to get use to things closing down early as am use to myself some things being open till at least 11PM and some businesses start closing down around 8PM if not sooner. Quiet area for the most part. Some noise from other guest but nothing to excessive.
