    The water taps needs a new filter in the bathroom and the kitchen sinks because the water doesn’t come out properly. The cold water tap in the shower doesn’t work but the hot water is only warm so I guess that worked .

    Location was great and staff were super friendly and accommodating.

    The only negative thing I personally had was the dirty bathtub as my family likes to bathe for the most part but that was nothing, we just chose to take quick showers instead.

    This place is amazing, cannot rave enough about how the staff and management treat you so amazingly. It feels as it is in the heart of the the fun. We blew up our paddle boards and walked right into the lake across the street. Awesome beach area right in front of the hotel, also right beside the big moo, 2 min walk from Dairy Queen, Pizza Hut, liquor and convenience stores as well as countless restaurants and bars that are mostly kid and pet friendly. It is an older motel but that was actually why we chose it. I love the cabin style interior( even the rustic smell! You feel you are walking into the past) THE STAFF AND MANAGEMENT ARE THE BEST! So so sweet willing to help and bring anything, awesome to chat with. Typically when we find a vacation spot we like we chose different hotels to stay each time. But as long as this place is available this will be our go to. Ps… check out the sail boat at the rental docks. We had so much fun

    • Stayed 2 nights

    Old carpets, old furniture, old TV, old towels. No hooks in the bathroom, no extra chairs. Dishes were dirty, needed to rewash them. There were only 3 bigger towels, no hand towels or face towels for 4 people. Only 3 cups, 2 glasses, no kitchen towels. Had to ask for extra and it was provided. Cigarette smell in the room although they asked us not to smoke inside. Stayed in much better motels for much less.

    Location was very good. Just in front of the lake.

    The hotel is right on Lakeshore Drive which is great location beside the lake, but the corner unit where I was the street noise was an issue including muscle cars'engine revving until midnight on a rainy evening. Plus, the corner unit has the stairs down and noisy children ran up and down the stairs up to 10 pm, and then in the unit above me until 11pm, but that's the parent's fault not the owners.

    Location is great; owners were wonderful, very good communication skills with tired Travellers; pets are accepted.

    It's an old building, so we could hear people coming and going above us. Nothing terrible though.

    Great value for money. It's retro and relaxing and right on the lake! The owners are amazing, and very present. They are there to check you in and walk you through all the elements of the motel. It was perfect for our one night stay to take in the Open Water race. The location can't be beat. It's a classic old motel, but very, very, very clean.

    It's a party town, so of course there are drunks walking the streets at 2 a.m., but nothing the Motel could do about it. That's the price you pay for a good price and awesome location.

    Right across from the Main Beach, nice Lake View, easy to find, restaurants and pubs withing walking distance, More Moo Ice-cream only 2 doors down, good Donair place right beside it, amazing owners.

    Loud part of town as it's right on the strip and right on the beach.

    Tierney is the manager and was extremely gracious and welcoming. We'd stay there again just because of him. Room was clean and comfortable. Beautiful spot, right on the water. Amazing sunsets and easy walk to restaurants and beach.
