Nice, spacious, comfortable and clean. Everything you need. We just stopped for a night on our travels but check in was super easy and the room exceeded expectations. Don't let the motel vibe scare you away (unless you are looking for room service). The room temperature was comfortable when we got there which is unusual. Super cozy, I would stay here again

The hotel was great and convenient for where I needed to go, but the only downside was that therl trains passing through would blare their horns in the early morning making it hard to sleep in and relax.

Great experience, check in was fast. Our room was nice and spacious and clean! We could not hear others next to us and the inn seemed full. Many fast food options within a 2 minutes walk from the inn. The whole experience was great especially considering the cost of the room which was definitely lower than average.

Patricia

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and comfortable, no issues there. This motel advertised "waterfront views", showed a photo of a small marina. That marina was about 6 blocks away, you could not see the lake from this motel. The nice patio for a picnic was a broken picnic table and a small charcoal grill. We had a highway right in front with railroad tracks running behind the highway, train whistle blast at 5:30 a.m. was not appreciated. I do not blame Expedia for this but, I am curious as to how Expedia could have helped us with this false advertisement and disappointment with this motel.

Laura

Listen, this is just a you-get-what-you-pay for property. It definitely smells a little stale and the AC was really poor- would NOT stay here if it was any hotter out (we stayed beginning of June for 1 night). Other than that, check in was fast, bed was fine, etc. If you are pressed on budget and are just looking for 1 night, this place is fine.
