Classic Motor Motel, but updated. Overall okay stay, but rooms are small and overpriced. No storage or drawers, so we had to live out of our suitcases. Evening Bar with live music was fun. Very pleasant staff, and hardworking.

Cute little “motel” with so much character and charm! Customer service was top notch! Had an issue with some food, not only did they take care of it, they asked our opinion on what they could do to make it better! Breakfast is a little lacking. Pool was too cold to use but the outside areas are lovely! Fire pits, cornhole games and lots of seating! Definitely would recommend to others!

Apparently our stay was a little too early in the season so they are not not offering breakfast. We also found a glob of hair on the shower wall. Otherwise wise the staff was nice & offered great local options & the room seemed clean otherwise.

Cozy and playful resort

We stayed here 1 night to check out the Okoboji area. The room was clean and the bed comfy. It was a chilly night so they had a real wood firepit burning outside. It was too breezy to play any of the various yard games they had out.

Comfortable stay

Was a quick getaway. Since offseason the place was not busy and quiet. Just what I wanted and needed. Room was sufficient and close to food and other amenities. Only down side there was no ice machine and difficult to get ice of office was closed.

First, management had to open the door to my room because there was a problem and it had to be pushed, pulled and lifted up to open. Tiny room and TV uses apps that you must sign into with your own sign-in info. The mattress had to have been 30 or more years old. The mattress was so soft I couldn't sit on the edge of the bed without sliding off. There were so many hard lumps in the mattress, I woke up with a sore neck and shoulders. This was probably the worst bed I have ever slept in. There was a body pillow with no pillow cover on it lying on the bed, gross. Tiny room with furnishings most likely purchased at a garage sale; old, chipped and cracked. Had to go to front office to get ice and handed out in gallon zip-loc bag.Very odd place, nice people, with interesting outside amenities. Good place to get drunk and party with friends outside in the "fire-pit" area.If this room cost $69 I'd say a decent deal, you get what you pay for, but at over $150, a rip-off.
