Fairly nice and casual place for a low rate but a very outdated look of fake wood paneling in the room. Parking is right at your door so very convenient and a park bench is there too so great for reorganizing. The Lakeview is off to the side but it is just across the street if you want to go down there on dusty roads. There are nicer places on the lake to go picnic further along and on the west side. My favorite Mexican place went out of business so was hard to find food near. This is a little family run motel so expect that vibe and enjoy the laid-back moments

Check in/out were easy! Getting in contact with the staff was easy! I had an issue with my room, and they let me change no problem. The room was old, but clean. I was alone, but the area seems creepy. The privacy was limited. My door opened tge opposite way, but it locked! The room served it's use. I would stay again, VERY spacious. Friendly staff!

Staff very helpful. Bed was comfortable. Motel itself is old 1950's and is very basic. Would need a lot of upgrades to make it look better. But does offer the basics of sleep, shower, and safety.

Cute, CLEAN, dated, simple room. The only negative was our key card never worked, the internet television constantly "Buffered", and of course a lot of road noise. But I will stay here again, the manager was awesome, and the housekeeping was so helpful.
