The girl laughed at me when I asked if there's an elevator. Just had a few surgeries and taking several steps is not easy for me. The phone didn't work in the room to call her to ask what the Wi-Fi password was. the bathroom sink smell like sewer coming out of it. they need to put something down the drain and there was sewer flies lying around it. Mirrors were splashed up and not clean, gross looking. The mattress was very comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Room was spacious and clean but there was a distinct cigarette smell. Kitchen was adequate and there a few utensils, as well as dish soap, but nothing to clean or dry them with other than bath washcloths and bath towels. The bed was very comfortable. The property is adjacent to Hy 41 and close to a railroad track so there will be noise, especially if a train goes by (whistle for the intersection).

The room was clean and comfortable, no issues there. This motel advertised "waterfront views", showed a photo of a small marina. That marina was about 6 blocks away, you could not see the lake from this motel. The nice patio for a picnic was a broken picnic table and a small charcoal grill. We had a highway right in front with railroad tracks running behind the highway, train whistle blast at 5:30 a.m. was not appreciated. I do not blame Expedia for this but, I am curious as to how Expedia could have helped us with this false advertisement and disappointment with this motel.

Disliked: Staff & service
Pros: price was good for just needing a place to rest for a night. Front desk was friendly but he did not know much English. Room was easy to find. Had basic amenities like shampoo and soap and ice down the hall. Cons: Lobby and room smelled terrible. Window unit for A/C. Shower curtain was gross and needed to be replaced. Water temp/pressure could have been better but wouldn’t have been a deal breaker if it had felt cleaner.
