Price was right. Looks like they have been slowly upgrading the old motel. Seems they installed a water softener, got better a/c, lush towels and nice and clean.

Top notch, personal. Dedicated customer service. Charming building. Has the feeling of a close knit community, but still standard hotel. Good price. Treated us so well we stayed another night. Just great honestly

Liked: Cleanliness
Close to alot of attractions with a price that even the poor folks can get out of town. Took awhile to check in as they didnt know how to do an expedia room rental. Also someone came in our room late (no chain on the door) flipped on the lights but then realized we were in there. Our key cards didnt work the next day so unsure of what was going on but scary nonetheless.

They had a hard time finding my reservation but thankfully the staff was very kind about it. They have me the wrong suite and told me that the one I booked was already taken. But the suite they gave me wasn't bad it was spacious and nice. But when taking a shower the bath filled up. But other than that it was nice because the beds are so comfy!!! So it was worth it!!!

The staff at night carried on all night. The place smelled like they had been smoking swisher sweets and other things in it My keys were deactivated every single day and I paid for a week. They acted as though it was an inconvenience for me to be there. Come to find out this is more or less a hotel for homeless people.icing on the cake there were cockroaches sitting behind the tv having a stare down with me at 10:30 pm 3 nights in.

No HEAT with temp in 50s during the day. Only one person working and she was unfriendly and hard to find. Property looked unmaintained and unkempt. Didn’t stay - checked out almost immediately. Would NOT recommend. When checking into our new hotel, someone in my party commented we’d just came from the bates motel and the clerk said oh you mean star of the lakes.
