Motel

This is a great motel 6 type motel. I paid about 90 per night- It cost more for the kitchen. The kitchen has a sink, microwave, and mini fridge- the stove didn’t work. The bathroom was standard with toilet, shower and sink. The bedroom section The cleaning lady was very nice- she had two pets: a mini dog and a cat. When I was packing my stuff to leave, the cat entered my room and would not leave. It got on top of my bed- I’m okay with pets, but my husband is allergic to cats. The hotel is trying to keep a certain era look- that’s a great idea… but things like the carpet need to go…my safety chain was broken. The motel is called lake view- but I didn’t have a window view of the lake. There were some outside chairs, but they faced the motel. It would have been nice that there would be a patio/outdoor space to sit and see the lake.

Only complaint was the tv signal. Could not watch a show on any media without constantly spooling and then disconnecting. Had to watch tv on my IPhone. Otherwise very clean and comfortable.

Was not what I expected. The pictures are deceiving. I had people pounding on my bedroom door at 1:30 in the morning. Wifi did not work, so no tv or ipad could be used. The maintenance people were very nice and accommodating.

I like this property and the history of it, they’re a family business and it definitely has “home / cozy vibes”. I stayed here the first time in 2021 and really enjoyed the stay which is why I chose to stay again in 2025, it was a good stay but the room was a bit dirty this time around unfortunately. Shower curtains smelled really bad of urine hopefully they replace that soon, there were a bunch of dead bugs on the sink and cabinet. There was a giant cockroach when we first arrived in the room we only ever saw the one though, so I’m assuming it snuck in and got stuck in there? Either way definitely freaked us out at first. Had a couple issues with the tv, had to wait 30mins for it to update and then it kept freezing because the wifi was slow. Checking in & out was easy and parking was great. This is a very convenient and low cost place to stay, I do hope they clean a bit better, I would still comeback and stay again.

This property is an absolute disaster. I would not recommend it to anyone. The area is unsafe the rooms smell and are very dirty. I did not even stay because it was that bad. no one is on duty. There is a phone number to call but there’s nothing you can do to fix a horrible room.
