Room was so, so. Bed was comfortable. The breakfast was horrible. There were sausages that seemed uncooked (color), their eggs tasteless, and tots were not cooked properly. Only enough seating for around 10, very closed in area. Staff, both times same person morning and evening acted as though we were a bother to her. This is very unacceptable especially when i rent 2 rooms and give them my business.

This motel is not like the pictures. It needs some serious upgrades. The rooms were clean but the lobby is cluttered and smells really bad. Not a place you would want to try to eat their breakfast.

Said they had no reservation under our name. we had the itinerary for proof. offered us a cabin on camp grounds with no bathroom but had to pay for this . so hope we dont get charged for a room that wasnt available

Some things need improvement
Pros: room was neat, clean, furnishings updated and breakfast hot items were a pleasant surprise. Cons: not the greatest soundproofing between rooms, bedside light kept going out and front desk just told us to use the other lights in the room, front desk clerk on checkin was okay but not very friendly.

Fitted our needs; very clean, close to activities, very friendly employees and answered all questions. Could not get the room coffee pot to work, but was close to the breakfast room and got it there, along with lots of choices for breakfast.

Nice, for this type of hotel - all room open directly from the parking lot. Room is small, but adequate. The main light is on a timer which is annoying, I don’t want it going off automatically. Breakfast area is small and they suggest that if it is full taking it outside - not very appealing.
