The location is excellent and the staff are very friendly. However, the motel is a bit old, and since it’s pet-friendly, that might explain it.

We stayed here for 2 nights and 3 days and everything was just great. At first we were booked at a room without a kichenette (my mistake, I forgot to call beforehand to inform them that we wanted a room for cooking) but nonetheless, they agreed to transfer us right away on another room which we appreciate a lot. Overall, the place was clean and well maintained, and the owners were very warm and welcoming. 10/10 will definitely book our stay here again next time ❤️

The location is perfect, right at the beach and in the middle of all the food and drinks. It needs some maintenance and the shower was like a sandblaster. The host is very friendly and helpful. Parking on the property is a giant plus, since the town has literally no parking spots left close to 11 am unless you want to walk half an hour to the beach.

We enjoyed our stay at Raccoon Lodge Motel. The location was excellent, being across the street from the lake and within walking distance to many great eateries. The operators were very kind and flexible with our needs of travelling with our cats. They were very responsive to our questions prior to our arrival as well. The motel is dated and could use some upgrading but the room was spacious and clean. Overall, we would stay there again.

Was there for a little weekend getaway. The staff was incredible, very friendly, upbeat and accommodating! While not the best stocked kitchenette we had everything we needed to make simple meals. We were warned of noise coming from across the alley from the bar and the band playing but it certainly wasn’t enough to disturb our sleep. I would stay again during the quiet season only because I would imagine being right across from the lake it would get noisier in the busy summer months and I would want someplace where I wouldn’t hear loud car and motorcycle noise. But if you wanted to be close to the action and very reasonably priced and clean this is the place to be.
