It was our salvation after our ac went out on a 100 degree day. Rooms have fridge, stove, micro, small dinette. Great price and friendly front desk. Also a nice view of the lake.

An oasis on a long journey. The newly renovated room was so pleasant, with a kitchenette. Having the extra space was relaxing after being in a car for hours. The lake was low, otherwise location may have been more of a "destination". Highly recommend for cleanliness, comfort, and service.
8.0
Truly enjoyed our stay there this past weekend for the county fair. Room was clean, very spacious and very impressed with the remodeling. The only issue we had was when we thought we had lost our room key. And we called the office number and no one EVER answered. The voice mail box was not even setup. Hotel management needs to be available at all times to answer calls, even in the evenings. Other than that, our stay was great.
