This place was great for what it was. The only thing was there were little ants kind of by the shower, but otherwise everything was clean, staff was easy, and the location is amazing.

The room was clean and adequate but the bed was very uncomfortable. Would have been nice to have a small coffee maker available. For the cost I didn't expect much more.

Bed was extra firm, cable did not work properly and the air conditioning unit was extremely loud and not that cold. It was an okay hotel, but not worth the price.

Online shown as a beach side nice newer looking hotel. When arrived it looked to be a rundown motel 6. Called to hope for a possible refund and did not even check in and they refused and kept the full price of the room.

Truly the only issue I had with this place, considering it’s a pit stop, was the bed. Hard as a darn rock. Come on guys. It’s 2025 lol otherwise it was perfect for what we needed it for!

Our room was clean, but the decor was dated. There was too much in the room which made it feel very crowded. My kids used the pool. They didn't stay long stating it did not seem very clean (older kids, I didn't see it). It served our needs of a place to stay for one night, but it would not be my choice for a extended stay.

Paid $250 for a room that has not been updated since it was built. Owners have not reinvested a dime. Beach area is weed area. No perks here at all, I would not recommend this place.

Property is run down, but price reflected it. Some of the outlets in our room didn’t work, has to call staff to get our fridge working. But the views and lake access were great. Also enjoyed my little porch on my room.

I booked a deluxe king bedroom but was given a room with 2 queen beds. The towel had a big show mark on it. Someone stepped on it and it wasn't washed. There were many bugs in the room and the comforters had a stinking smell.
