Room had not been cleaned when we checked in --they just changed the sheets and put new towels in. The floor in the bathroom was dirty on arrival and there were flies and spiders in the room. The TV was broken. The beach in the Expedia pictures does not look like the current beach on the property -- which was dirty and covered in both dog and goose poop.

Asked for maid service got nothing in 2 days. Bathroom floor dead bugs, dirty. Holes in wall no curtains just shades. Very dirty carpet dusty furniture. Bugs on walls as well. Old dirty bedding under mattress. Outside lake view was only saving grace. Room next to us had bugs in their bed. They had to leave and went to another hotel.

The room was dirty! Hair on shower walls, debris all over the carpet (clear evidence of not vacuumed), half used shampoos and conditioner as complementary soaps. The smell of septic fills the air outside. Single cup Coffee make available to use however no cupsor coffee to go with it. Overall an uncomfortable experience. Pros, the view from this property is top notch. Private beach.

Disliked: Amenities
Amenities didn’t work in the room. The steps to the room are too high had to jump down when leaving room. View from room was great, but the walking area wasn’t picked up and the people around were quite noisey. People were smoking right outside of room so that was coming into the room. However, it is closer to walking distance into town and a good price.

I question the sincerity of the high customer reviews after staying at this motel. In my initial room, the AC unit wasn’t working. They gave us a new room. Moved all our bags to realize that the main light wasn’t working. They moved us to a 3rd room. We moved our bags and left for dinner. We came back after dark to see a cloud of flies/insects on our door and on the light in front of our door. We knew the room would be filled with flies after opening the door. No other doors were like this. I talked to the receptionist and she tried to downplay the issue inferring that all rooms were like this. I asked her to come and look. She opted to move us to a forth room instead so we moved our bags once again. As luck would have it, the AC in the 4th room was not working. At that point, we decided to cut our losses and keep the 4th room. Overall, the rooms were very dated and had an unpleasant odor- I can still taste it. The bathroom door didn’t close all the way. Bathrooms are ancient showers very small. They have a nice fire pit in the back on the water but I was told when checking in that they didn’t have any wood to burn. I would have to supply my own wood. Unfortunate because that was the main selling point for this motel. Other than my car, there were only 3 other cars at the hotel when we went to bed and woke up (early). After this visit, I understand the lack of visitors. Not recommended at all. Stay away.

I’ve stayed in the past for the car show, it was the same as always. Nothing out of this world but it absolutely gets the job done. But for low riding vehicles the driveway is tricky, though that is really my only complaint.

Definitely wouldn’t recommend this motel to anyone! No lightning at night and the guy that checked us in said that he was closing the office and then stated we’d have to walk to the Baymont if we needed anything, which essentially meant “Good luck, try not to die” pics display everything you need to know about their “premium” room.

We had to wait for someone to check us in. When we got to the room it was still dirty. Came back later, Tv didn’t work . Room was discussing . Afraid to take my shoes off. Shower looked like something in a campground. Bed was comfortable, looks like they are trying to up date, but they should definitely wait till they are done. We were in room 10. Pretty scary, floors weren’t swept, spiders and cob webs in the bathroom! Young gentleman that checked us in was nice! Wouldn’t have stayed a second night if it was free!

I had a reservation booked and nobody was at the property (several attempts in the same day) 6/7/25 available for check in. I tried calling, and returned multiple times. Ended up having to book another hotel for myself and my dog.
