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!!!

Would choose somewhere else

Got there 20 minutes early. They told us they didn’t have any rooms available to come back sometime after four then as we are leaving, told us they had a room. Person at front desk could not give me a receipt stood there for five minutes, staring at the screen and wouldn’t ask anybody for help even after I asked her to because I needed a receipt so left without a receipt.

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.

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.

Our stay was absolutely terrible. We didn’t get the room we reserved, the floors were sticky including the carpet, there’s cobwebs in the room we stayed in, there are RESIDENTS at the hotel, there are underage children behind the desk, the siding is falling off the building (not seen in online photos), there’s garbage scattered across the property, the heat doesn’t work, someone entered our room with the do not disturb sign hanging on the door while we were away, and we were locked out of our room without our belongings because they said we didn’t have a reservation. They put us in the wrong room to begin with after we booked on Hotels.com and called to confirm. There was absolutely zero communication from the staff about any sort of mixup. Maya was the only staff member to apologize for anything after we checked out at 9:30 pm to go to Quality Inn down the road. This place is a homeless shelter and should definitely be investigated for all the shady stuff going on there. We received a full refund with no concern or apology when we were on the road 6 and half hours from home. We wouldn’t recommend that ANBODY stay at that dump. I can’t believe Hotels.com is even listing this absolute turd!
