Great value! Really liked the size of the place, would definitely stay again (though if you have a dust allergy/are sensitive, you'll definitely feel it, the place was clean but a friend with dust problems was coughing all night)

Ed was very friendly and welcoming upon arrival. The room was much bigger than we expected, and had a microwave and mini fridge. It's right across from a public beach and pier which was beautiful, there is also a restaurant. We also enjoyed the cafe down the street for breakfast. Great proximity to Northstar, we will definitely stay here again!

I couldn’t get to the hotel, because of the snowstorm, and I tried to contact the hotel and I tried to contact Expedia, and there was no possible way to contact either of you. I was so frustrated. I just gave us and paid the price, but it was very very disheartened. There were phone numbers and always. I got with an endless ringing phone and no possibility of leaving a message and Expedia has no way absolutely no way to reach them. I’m done with both.

Mid… prepare to be uncomfortable and adjust expectations. You are looking at this place because of location, price point and availability. We just made it work.

This is an old basic motel. It appears to be a one person operation. And that person does their best to assist. That said, the beds are somewhere between firm and rock hard. On 2 occasions get hot water required a call to the front desk. Our shower moved back and forth between cool and too hot. Location is good. Across from the Lake and Garwoods

Old motel

Check in guy was friendly, but this is a rundown motel. It could easily be improved to make it a better guest experience. The mattresses need to be replaced as they were thin and umcomfortable. With a small amount of money, this place could be so much better.

The carpet was filthy. The room smelled like cat urine. Needed to open the windows to dissapate the smell. The tv required 2 remotes to work. The picture shown does not represent the shape this motel is in. I would not recommend this place for the price paid or the experience.

I wish I had paid better attention to reviews before I made this reservation. The shag carpeting had a bad mildew smell. Room was unuseable. My girlfriend said she would rather be homeless than sleep here. This Motel should not be made available on your site. It gives your app a big black eye.
