The location on the lake was awesome, lovely view. We found the bed really comfortable. We stay at a lot of cheaper priced, budget motels and never have hugh hopes for a super comfortable bed. This was wonderful. We didn't find there to be enough pillows (one per person but very thin) so we asked for more. They gave us 2 more, no questions asked, which we appreciated
No complaints..... the pillows were a personal preference thing

Wonderful room for the price! I was so impressed with the sunlight streaming through the many windows and the very comfortable room. Sure, the paint was a bit chipped but, at that price, I was expecting a lot worse! And the location is ideal for CAT ferry passengers. Just a 5 minute straight shot to the terminal and to lots of conveniences like fast food restaurants and gas stations, as well as 2 lovely riverwalks. The owner, also, was very sweet and helpful.
My only concern was a gapping shade on the windowed front door since the room was ground floor. I solved that with a towel on a pants hanger over the gap.

Easy and convenient to local attractions and reasonable cost. Tommy, the main staff person was extremely helpful and did his best to make sure my requests were fulfilled. I stayed an extra night without any issues in scheduling.
It’s not fancy if that is what you are looking for but perfectly fine.

It was located conveniently a couple minutes from downtown. The person on duty (owner?) Greeted me and showed me the room. Breakfast was included. It had an amazing view of the lake and sunset.
There was no air conditioning so a little disappointed with that.

Very clean and comfortable room with all the basic necessities. The staff were extremely friendly and accomodating .The location overlooking a lake, was beautiful.Our continental breakfast was adequate and served us very well.
We would have appreciated if the breakfast was offered up to a slightly later time.

Friendly atmosphere from staff, room was fantastic and very clean. Didn't get a chance to use the Wi-Fi as I arrived late in the night. Spoke with front desk earlier in the day to advise I would be late. They had my room already to go and was very welcoming. I would stay there again. Thank you for the great hospitality. and the food was delicious. Coffee was very good too.
Not a single issue.

Close to town for restaurants
Huge language barrier...tried to book 2nd night during my stay and offered cash with no maid service. They wanted me to pay MORE? I rebooted online and got a lesser price????

It was convenient to town, and the view was amazing. The price was good.
There was no air conditioning, so it was very warm. The room was clean, but definitely needed updates. They should tell people that if they want to charge phones/laptop, they will need to use a particular plug. The light switch shut off the power to the rest
