7 Gables Motel Burnside Near Somerset US 27

8/10 Good
"We rented two rooms, a king and a double. The king mattress didn’t have a bed rail so it had a giant dip in middle. The double mattress’s were perfect, soft but definitely new. The lights in parking lot are bright through the curtains but overall very nice place. Lots of boaters there for the lake and the ice machine works."
