I told them we got married that day and they had rose petals and a nice bottle of wine and two glasses for us. We got a room on the end so the sunset view in the morning was gorgeous! It was clean and a big room for an incredible rate!
Best motel experience I have had. Staff was friendly and came quickly when called despite my not being able to check in until 1 a.m.
The room had some wear but was comfortable, clean, and everything worked as it should. The location is very easy to get to and the views of the lake are very nice.
I would recommend staying here even if it was more expensive, but since it was not, I would recommend staying here over any of the alternatives in Plattsburgh.
Very clean room with polite and courteous staff.Easy to check in, front desk let me check in 4 hours early which is always a plus The girl who does the cleaning should teach and instruct other cleaning staff in and around Plattsburgh NY. She does a phenomenal job.
I had a room on the 2nd floor with beautiful views of Lake Champlain, minutes from the public beach, restaurants and the interstate.

Located in a fun/beautiful spot. Rooms clean and efficient for what you need. Super comfortable bed.
The owner is extremely nice and helpful. He worked with travel healthcare workers like myself, and gave a fair rate to me every time. Exceptional service 10/10 would recommend a stay here if you’re ever in Plattsburgh. Oh and the beach right behind the lodging is so cute lol
I loved that there was a lake next to the hotel. Looking out my door at the lake. Staff was very nice. Loved that I was about 30 minutes from the canada border. All in all great stay.
Typical motel room with coffee maker, fridge and microwave. Right on the lake which was a bonus. I have a quiet and comfortable night. Above expectations for the price.
THE ROOMS ARE A LITTLE BIT DATED BUT THE BED WAS VERY COMFORTABLE.THE WHOLE PROPERTY COULD PERHAPS DO WITH A BIT OF TLC BUT THE LOCATION IS GREAT WITH WONDERFUL VIEWS AND A NICE BEACH YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR
Pleasant surprise, relaxed atmosphere, thoughtfully maintained and well maintained. Right on the beach.
Responsive staff, unbeatable experience for the price.
She has some years on her, but the sheets were clean and fresh, the kitchenette is a nice perk, and you can't beat the location. Good staff. Quiet rooms. Very much enjoyed our stay. Would return.
Everything was fine. Bathroom fixtures were a bit dated, but everything worked, and was clean. Bed was comfortable. The lakefront location was nice, sat out in front of the room for a while enjoying the evening breeze and listening to the waves.
