This is an older 2 story property with great big refinished rooms with lake views. Daily attention to room turndown excellent! Front desk staff very nice. Location is wonderful with the highway close, biking path and water close, food a short walk, and museums a short drive. Parking is free. Downside is part of the property is defunct with an empty pool, unused cafe and unused conference bldg. no elevator, no ice machine and poor shower pressure. A great price and memorable stay for us and would gladly come again!!

Well located for Hyde Park. Refurbished old motel was OK and clean, but there was no hair dryer, place to hang clothes, or luggage rack, and one thin blanket on the bed. Frig, microwave, and coffee OK. Only needed one night stay but would not use for a longer stay.

We arrived @ 1:pm maybe later from a 11hr road trip from NC. The Hotel Staff who greeted me told me that our room would not be ready until 4pm even though we had prepaid for 4 nights. He said the hotel " sold out the night before and it was taking longer to get the rooms cleared. Ok but after staying at this hotel for 4 nights, there was no way it was sold out the night be. This is a Hidden Gem highly recommend. 5 ***** across the board

We were in town for business and had 2 rooms with several issues, 509 and 511. We had 4 more nights booked but cancelled. The rooms have no way to hang up clothes. Rom 509 tv only got CBS and all other stations said poor signal. The vanity areas need brighter lighting. 511 had a clogged toilet, but we left without reporting. The parking lot is in disrepair and the hotel is dated. see pic. At 9:45AM we heard a power drill adjacent to 509. The beds were comfy.

The room was really spotless. Really comfortable bed and the pillows are nice as well. Comes with microwave and fridge as well. However the shower head pressure was significantly weak. And the plugs for both nightstands didn't work. It would have been nice if there were a complimentary breakfast as well.But overall the room was really good.

The outside area was okay. The inside was clean, bed was comfortable. There was a microwave (didn’t use) and refrigerator. Large screen tv was nice. Water pressure was just okay. Had some issues checking in because I used my initials (which is what I go by) on my reservation and my ID has my name fully written out. The front desk was not going to let me stay because of that. I had to call Hotels.com and finally they changed my reservation to state my full name. Was not off to a good start. Did have some nice restaurants near by and the lake was across the main road.

You get what you pay for! Great price and location plus very nice staff and newly remodeled. But they don’t apparently have everything ready; 1. No ice machine even though they have ice buckets in the room 2. A closet to hang clothes, but no bar or shelf to allow you to do that. 3. Hit water just warm and weak stream. 4. Zero rooms ready to use at the 3:00 pm check-in time. I can’t explain that. 5. No bkfst at all. Yes, that was in their amenities list, but for that price you should get something.
