It was so easy to check in and out, the staff were lovely and the loft we stayed in was clean, warm and had everything we needed. Absolutely recommend this motel. We had a running event at Two mile sailing club and the motel was a prime location, close by and beautiful lake front views. The heated pool and spa pool was a lovely bonus as well
