We did not stay at the Lake-Vu motel. My daughter and I got a phone call, while we were onroute, letting us know that the hotel is not staffed for late check-ins, so they could not provide us with accommodations for the night. Fortunately, we were able to find other accommodations.

Updates

Need better lock out system, I waited outside for over an hour in the cold due to being locked out of the hall door, emergency contact or on call should be in place, bed is outdated and uncomfortable, door lock is broken, and shower stall door doesn’t fully close.

This property is in dire need of a refresh, but this is correctly reflected in the room rate. The property is clean and beds were comfortable. It's a minimalist property so keep your expectations in the appropriate range, but as a reasonably priced option, this place does the trick.

When I check in I receive my statement and a note stated the room was renovated. Upon entering the room I gather the room was renovated in the mid to late seventies.

Not a fan of the smoking right outside the door with the door propped open. With the number of cameras, this feels like something that could be addressed

The window next to the entry was broken and the worn tape indicated that the window had been broken for some time. The door to the room fitted poorly and the chain lock broken. It took several minutes for hot water to flow from the shower and a large clump of black hair was stuck on the shower wall. In the morning someone was asleep in the hallway. All in all, not a good experience!

Room was convenient. The rooms was a different story. The bed was hard the pillows were flat the TV and satellite box were unplugged. There was used soaps and towels in the bathroom, front desk did not care. It was key entry. You can hear your neighbors watching TV or other things.
