Old, tiny, smelly.

The only redeeming feature of this hotel is its location, on the lake in a quiet location. The “inn” itself is a dump. Smelly, dirty, tiny. I’ve seen worse, but not by much. Works if you are in a pinch, but I wouldn’t recommend it if you have other options.

Just okay.

We had booked two rooms and only one was on their list. Fortunately, there was another room available. Casey was very helpful on getting the problem rectified, except for the mixed up phone call at 9:40pm telling me the other couple we were with had yet to check in. I will be watching my credit card statement to assure I was only charged once. Found out there was no cleaning service for stays over one evening, but they would provide more towels if needed. This should be conveyed prior to booking. A/C unit was extremely loud. Overall, the rooms were very clean, but the building could use a little work.

Pleasant and quiet stay here. Easy in and easy out with good parking. Restaurant just steps away with views out over the marina and the lake. Tech is a bit dated and the room has no USB ports. Bring chargers if you have gadgets. Staff very friendly and helpful.
