My recent stay here was good. The room was clean and comfortable, but nothing particularly stood out. Overall, it was a decent stay, but I was hoping for a bit more. It’s a fine option if you’re looking for a basic stay near the lake and downtown.

Close to Heavenly and access to Lake. Otherwise pretty outdated property but room was pretty spacious and some updating was recently done. Always hot shower and good water pressure, but I didn’t take my flip-flops off ever. Not the facility of luxury, but area was safe, quiet after 11pm and front desk guy was attentive and friendly. Not bad if you’re not looking to spend $200 on a room. Also good parking. Accommodates quite a bit of vehicles well.

If you need a cheap hotel to sleep for the night then this is absolutely fine. It’s nothing special at all but convenient, easy parking and felt safe.

$200 a night I was expecting A nicer facility. First night, we rented the room with the Jacuzzi in it and found out that the room next to us was occupied by the owners family. They were loud obnoxious and would always put a chair outside of our door So we had to walk around them to get to our room. It felt like we were inconveniencing them. We switched to a different room The second night, but it wasn’t much better. The walls are paper thin so you can literally hear everything Your neighbor is doing. The place looks like it hasn’t been remodeled since the 70s. Very disappointed and will not be returning.
