Guest Reviews

David (1/5): - Door code was wrong.No staff onsite.Later on a double booked guest opened my electronic locked door.Way overpriced
Kent (8/5): Very good. - Needed tissues, full length mirror and light over the desk area to make the place really nice.
Laura (10/5): We would definitely stay here again! - This was a clean, comfortable room. I was really comfortable. Loved retro look of the fridge and microwave. I loved the fact that they sent you the room code to get in the room the day of your stay. We didn’t have to go in an office to check in or anything which made it really convenient for us since we came in late and were very tired. Our room and our stay was absolutely perfect. The only negative thing we had to say had nothing to do with the property. There was a loud banging noise from the room next-door to us that woke us way after midnight.
Stacy (10/5): -
Sandridge (9/5): -
Donald (9/5): -
Chris (6/5): -
Joshua (8/5): -
Kenneth (6/5): - Rooms were mostly clean and functional AC leaked all over the floors. Shower did not have hot water in the morning. Remotes did not work for the tv. Dead bugs under the beds. Doors did not shut all of the way. Mania locks did not work. Falling off.
Jana (5/5): -
Debra (10/5): Enjoyable - Location Not much
Gene (6/5): - Place is clean and comfortable. No staff on site so when we had water issues, only could leave a voice mail. Should be able to get hold of a live person to sort these things out promptly
Jonathan (10/5): - Safe, clean, parking improvements , good chair to sit in would be nice
Robert (10/5): - Pleasantly surprised to find out the property went under a complete remodel since booking the stay. Rooms were cute and quaint. Beds were very comfortable. Facility was able to accommodate a specific request I had. Loved the idea of the retro fridge and microwave, however our fridge wouldn’t get cold enough to chill our drinks. That would be the only minor issue we came about during our stay. The outside area with the grills and fire pit were very cute.
roy (10/5): -
David (8/5): - The only issue we had was we arrived at 2 pm and they would not let us check in until exactly 3pmbut the place was nice other than that
Richard (6/5): Okay, but very pricey. - It was an average room, I thought a little overpriced at approximately $200 a night. Stayed there two years ago and paid roughly $70 a night. It was nice that they had repaved the driveway, except the west end of the drive was rough (uneven). Generally motels/hotels that I stay at for $200 a night at least provides breakfast.
Matthew (10/5): Great bang for the buck - The location was easy to find and parking was right by the room. N/A
Scott (10/5): -
Richard (6/5): Nobody there. - Rooms are very nice and recently remodeled. Beds are comfortable, shower have great water pressure. Advertised as having cable television in the rooms but there was none. Only apps on the television that you need to login to your own account (thanks Carlos, who ever you are, for leaving your login for Amazon). There is no staff on hand. Need another towel? Too bad. The office has a lock on it and no way of knowing the keypad combo to get in so I couldn't get ice or snacks. I did find a cleaning lady later on, who wouldn't give me the combo to the office, but said she would leave the door open. Lastly, the bathroom is weird. When they remodeled, they put the toilet paper holder 5ft away from the toilet. Make sure to bring TP with you when you sit down or you will be waddling over to grab some. Overall the place is average. Love the new rooms but not having no staff on hand.
Mike (6/5): - The room and remodel is fine, but it is priced like a luxury property. It's a roadside motel. Also TV wise is only streaming options so if you're not a subscriber choice is limiter. For this price full cable is expected.
Michael (8/5): Recent Stay - A better phone number needs to be posted on the property in case you arrive and didn't receive the text or email with virtual check in information like what happened to us, Room floor was very dirty. Our socks would be all dirty from walking on the floor. Location was great for us and the fire pit and grill and tables was a nice touch.
Christopher (4/5): Doubled price - Double price of the past. This motel was acceptable when it was $90 per night. This trip it was double that. Under new management. New mattresses are a solid upgrade. Cold water from sink was turned off due to leak. Wall AC was insulated with plastic bags. Could use a bigger TV. Used to be a good option when racing OIR, but not at new prices.
Danny (10/5): - great place
Donald (8/5): - The rooms were nice and clean. I got there late check in process.
Sara (10/5): - Very clean
Michelle (4/5): - It was close to where i needed to be but i had to remove a scorpion. No employees on site to do this and during sleep the decor on the wall fell off on us.
Jamie (10/5): Love it!!! - Great place to stay, staff was great...
Easley (8/5): -
Jon (10/5): - Was very clean
Dorla (10/5): F - We enjoyed our stay at the lake house inn. Clean, comfortable beds. Highly recommend this hotel.
Jeff (7/5): It was fine we’ll probably be back - It was close to where we were doing our activities There really wasn’t anything we didn’t like that bothered us
Luke (4/5): Don’t stay here if cleanliness is non-negotiable - Room had noticeable dirt throughout, bedsheets, shower etc. The sink drain leaked from the trap (fixed myself) but the fact that I had to is ridiculous. The sheets had lint/hair on them and the shower walls had hair as well. The room was on the backside of the building (normally fine but the parking lot was horrible) one night it had rained and the parking lot had created a horrible red/orange mud that got over everything and stained my clothes. (Didn’t realize it was on my shoes. The room was comfortable enough to rough it for a few nights as we only used it as somewhere to sleep/shower before doing our activities for the day. But otherwise firmly and not what was expected from images alone.
Kimberly (10/5): -
Todd (10/5): - Check-in was easy due to the room's door code. Amazingly quiet room even as the property is on Hwy 5. Very comfortable beds, pillows and whole room! We will be back if ever in the area! Awesome restaurant just North on Hwy 5 called Val's. A must stop for breakfast!!
Scott (8/5): - Needed a room last minute for work out of state. All Mobil check in, Clean room, cold ac, would stay again. Thumbs up to ownership.
Russell (4/5): - Ruined the handicap. Beds too high.frame moves across floor. Toilet too low, no grab bar. Can't reach paper. No cold water only warm . New air small, blows air under curtain. Took 2 hours to find out lamp in touch. Used this 7-8 times in 18 months. Can't go back being handicapped
Linda (2/5): - The room smells terrible! Paint fumes and I could not, did not stay there. I have allergies and the odor was horrific. When I turned the AC on it made it worse smelling old and musty. There was no one to call although I did send a text to which no one returned my call! The place was not warm and welcoming, quite the opposite. I’m asking you for a full refund. Oh and the back parking lot is creepy with a trash bend. Who in their right mind would find the trail then stay back there and build a campfire!? Creepy! There was no staff. Really I think this might be a false advertising thing. Please refund my money.
Judy (8/5): - I liked that it was close to my event. Personless entry is not my favorite, but we finally got in. Lovely back yard addition of a canopy with picnic tables and two new BBQ grills.
Linda (8/5): - Clean and comfortable Nobody there in case something was wrong
Kim (10/5): - It was nice and quiet, clean well
Leanne (8/5): - Perfect location and very clean. Only complaint was little to no hot water.
Sanning (10/5): Exceptional - Convenient location. Lots of food options around.
Anthony (7/5): Good -
Danielle (10/5): - Clean, easy to check in and out, received info to get into the motel in a timely manner. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Thomas (9/5): We will stay there again if we are ever in the area. - location was good as we were only 10 minutes away from the family we were visiting. The restaurant was within walking distance for breakfast and Subway was close for supper. The bathtub could use a bathmat or bath strips as it was very slippery when stepping in and also the toilet paper holder was very far away from the toilet. Other than that, the was very nice.
Debra (8/5): Updated motel - The hotel looks to be somewhat updated recently. The vinyl flooring needs a good cleaning and the ac unit in 105 is very loud when sleeping. Beds and pillows are fairly comfy. I would suggest the rooms be serviced every other day instead of every 3rd since there are not enough towels for 4 people. We appreciated the ice machine and coffee in the nearby lounge.
Debra (8/5): Motel with hotel prices - Would suggest adding more large towels for 4 people in a room and fixing the ac unit in 105. We noticed the room seemed to be updated recently so understand there might have been a few glitches. Overall a decent stay.
Joel (8/5): - This motel appears to have been upgraded recently. The flooring, fixtures and furniture, and bedding all seemed to be pretty new.
Helen (6/5): - I did not like having no staff on premise and accessing room with a code emailed to me. Very impersonal.
Mark (2/5): Double charged us and won’t refund - Double charged us and never refunded. I called at least 4 times and left a message. The manager never called me back. We used to stay here twice a year but won’t be back. I’m sure the owner will be responding to this review with they gave a refund. NO THEY DID NOT. I know how to read my bank statements. I have given you since April to refund-and now this is June.
Julie (10/5): Exceptional -
Paula (10/5): Great place and great location - The place has been fixed up so cute. Love the silo to sit under and the fire pit out back. Rooms were clean and cute. The fact that I called and told them they charged me twice for the same night and the Lady never called me back and they have not refunded my money. This was a mistake I am sure and it dose not make the place bad. But I do expect a refund and I would have liked the Lady to call me back. BAD customer service on her part.

Cynthia (10/5): Good choice! - Our room was very clean and it was newly renovated in beautiful colors that created a relaxing atmosphere. The television offered many channels. The owner was very helpful in letting us know how and when to get into our room. The beds were comfortable and the water in the shower was nice and warm! The location and price were good for what we were doing. Highly recommend for a quiet night's sleep.
Rick (8/5): - I loved getting the code to access room and have a swift check-in with receipt just emailed to me. We had an ice bucket in the room, but were never able to find an ice machine with which to fill it which was a little sad. The tub was super slick and both my son and my Mom fell in it. I would have had I not put a towel inside the tub to help with a little bit of traction.
Cherryl (10/5): - Nicely updated and very clean. First experience with contactless check in. Simple and easy.
Ryan (8/5): - Rooms were recently remodeled and were clean and nice.
Robert (10/5): - Everything was clean. Quiet, nice place to stay.
Paula (7/5): Great staff, great price. - Staff was great. They were under renovations and making the place better. They were great to us. Our room had not been renovated yet. It was rough.
Vanessa (8/5): - Seems that the property is undergoing mayor upgrades and the units look way nicer than on the current pictures. The units have almost everything new and are super nice and comfortable (please don't ruin them!). They just added a pick nick gondola and a fire pit that we got to use for the first time. Location is convenient for fishing trips or any other events going on around the area. Will not be your ideal family vacation destination for sure but it will host you for a day or two while you do a tour.
Scott (10/5): - The new renovations were very nice!
Mike (8/5): - They are finishing their remodeling and have added new AC ,floors, beds, furniture,micro wave, fridge , desk and chairs and coffee maker and TV . Great remodel from last year stay (retro idea job, I should have opened the window for new paint smell)! Only issues ; Take off the old key fob on the wall , I spent 10 minutes trying to open it before seeing the touch door -keypad !! Replace the shampoo foil packs with a wall pump or screw on bottle. They are impossible to tear open when wet ! lol . Thanks for everything, nice to meet you Sue and Heather :-)
Verified traveler (8/5): Decent Place for Solo - The place just got a new owner who is repainting everything which was needed and putting in new beds. Comfortable but noisy on the road with cars and people outside talking in the parking lot. However, it was perfect for what I needed which was a place to sleep and shower.
Paula (7/5): They are under construction and working to make it better. It was a good experience. - the staff was great. Easy to work with. They are under construction and I think we were in the way. We were pleased with our stay. The floor needed vac'ed, but it was a nice stay. Towels were changed out daily, no toilet paper. I had some so it worked out. We were in a smoking room, that was fine but seemed to be no effort on there part to air the room out or even spray. IT was very strong in odor. We fixed that as well with some fabreeze. Over all a good stay it was close to where we needed to be and a roof over our heads during the 5 days of rain and cold wind.
Verified traveler (4/5): In Poor Condition - Arrived to a strong smoke smell. Did not request a smokers room. Turned on the water and it literally ran out an open line directly on the floor. They were apparently aware because there was a shop vac along the wall next to it. It was not a clean room, old bedding. Would not recommend. Way overpriced for condition. The front desk said they are under renovations but they shouldn’t rent a room if it does not have functioning plumbing.
Tammy (10/5): - Great place
Dannielle (9/5): Superb -
Marsha (6/5): - Ac was takes in the wall with duck tape and very loud would wake us up when it kick on and off all night . People hang around outside . The light shining in the room with blind closed the bathroom floor had gap in the floor the heater switched kept falling off the wall . There was no helpful information from the guy at the desk since he never left the motel in14 years. It was very hard to park when there was limited space due how people was parking
Kelly (4/5): - I am only giving this only 2 stars because the king bed was super old & we felt every spring. We hardly slept & r backs hurts sooooo bad. I will say the motel was very clean. Unfortunately we will not stay here again.
David (6/5): Pleasant -
Larry (6/5): Rate to high for what we got. - Convenient Radiant heat, room wasn't warm.
Patty (6/5): Pleasant -
Thomas (10/5): - ,
Chuck (9/5): Superb -
Teresa (8/5): Very good -
Maxson (5/5): Passable -
Mary (8/5): good deal - very comfortable toilet paper holder too far from stool..I have long arms and it was a stretch. A small thing, but in the moment, very important!
Verified traveler (10/5): Great little stay away - Very helpful staff & clean rooms.
Clifford (6/5): A room for the night. Nothing more. - Convenient location to event attended. Motel was at full capacity. No hot water for morning shower. Room cleanliness a bit lacking (carpets not vacuumed, tub not scrubbed, etc.).
Kathy (6/5): - The housekeeping was mediocre no regular coffee replenishment So no tip
Terry (2/5): Very poor - Location One bed was broke, had a band-aid stuck to the. Bottom of the tub along with a partial bar of soap. Not one cup in the room
David (10/5): Bike Fest 2024 - The stay was exactly what I expected it to be. The staff was friendly. Only issue was a broken blind but not bad enough that it didn’t do its job. Overall, great overnight place to stay when traveling.
Chris (4/5): - Bed look like someone had slept in it the night before.
David (10/5): - It was a great small town hotel. Definitely exceeded my expectations.
Nicole (9/5): Superb -
Janis (7/5): Good -
Linda (7/5): Room was clean and adequate for overnight stay. -
Nicola (2/5): - Rooms are outdated. AC is terrible.
Chris (10/5): - Easy check in, quite an comfortable
Spader (6/5): Pleasant -
Michael (6/5): - This is an old property. The parking lot is rough. The room was clean and basic. The AC ran continuously and there was no control to turn it off. I'd stay there again if I was around the area
Donna (5/5): It was close to where I I needed to be, the guy was super nice, it was clean. But I wouldn’t stay there again if I could - The young man at the front desk was so very nice. I enjoyed chatting with him. I also felt like it was as clean as you can get a place like that, so that was good. But, an old lake motel never feels completely clean, you know? It’s pretty run down. Stained carpet, kind of damp and dark. Questionable heating and cooling systems. Just your typical old, out-of-date substandard motel. So, I felt like it was overpriced.
Coda (2/5): You get what you pay for. The cheapest rate got bare bones. Next time I will sleep in my truck. - No amenities at all. No desk service after 9--the only ice was in the office; not even drink or snack machines. No refrigerator in room. Beds uncomfortable. A/C controls at floor level with no lighting to see them.
Prabahan (4/5): Disappointing - The bed sheets were very dirty and it seems they were not changed, i had to ask new bed sheet. Very poor house keeping service. They need to do better.
Jay (8/5): Very good -
Dennis (7/5): Close to my worksite, they have smoking rooms available - Nice and quiet No refrigerator in the room
Audra (8/5): - Loved the old school feel. The rooms smelt wonderful. The bathroom was huge. It still had some old features from back in the day. The only thing I did like was the beds were flimsy and I kept stubbing my toe on whatever was poking out under the front of the bed. Other than that the host was nice, he made me laugh and it was peaceful. Not much to eat really late so it would be wise to get food before you call it a night or a snack or two.
Mcallister (5/5): It beat being in a jail cell, with a DUI.NOT a good price, bad beds. no breakfast, pool or hot tub. - There was not any breakfast served. The beds were sagging in spots like they needed new mattresses. We stayed in Warsaw and got a way better room with fride and microwave. hot tub and pool . FREE all you could eat breakast for about the same money. some of our group did not want to stay there...... Price..... Better beds. small refrigerator, microwave pool, hot tub...
Hailey (2/5): Bugs!!! - Dirty and disgusting, bugs on the floors
Brandon (4/5): Disappointing -
