We enjoyed our stay at Raccoon Lodge Motel. The location was excellent, being across the street from the lake and within walking distance to many great eateries. The operators were very kind and flexible with our needs of travelling with our cats. They were very responsive to our questions prior to our arrival as well. The motel is dated and could use some upgrading but the room was spacious and clean. Overall, we would stay there again.

Was there for a little weekend getaway. The staff was incredible, very friendly, upbeat and accommodating! While not the best stocked kitchenette we had everything we needed to make simple meals. We were warned of noise coming from across the alley from the bar and the band playing but it certainly wasn’t enough to disturb our sleep. I would stay again during the quiet season only because I would imagine being right across from the lake it would get noisier in the busy summer months and I would want someplace where I wouldn’t hear loud car and motorcycle noise. But if you wanted to be close to the action and very reasonably priced and clean this is the place to be.

Very friendly couple at the front counter that gave great service! Had a few pleasant conversations with them and they were helpful and accommodated us on the few things we needed. Excellent location close to the beach and right on the main strip. Was a little noisy at night, but that’s to be expected for the location. Overall a great stay and I will definitely be back!

This is a 1950s era motel/hotel. It is clean and friendly, and the hosts are great. You can't get a better location near the beach in Sylvan Lake. The section I stayed in is of cedar log panabode construction, which I found pleasant. I was told it is scheduled to be replaced by a condo develpment next year. They are hoping the cedar logs will be for sale.
