"On arrival parking lot was full of potholes, remnants of a partially collapsed hockey rink blocked a portion of the parking access. Front desk was pleasant but did not review any of the particulars, the exterior doors were never locked and were insecure in regard to entrance by literally anybody, breakfast consisted of some extremely watered down juice of indistinguishable flavors and a tray of “scrambled eggs “ that consisted of watered mixed with some form of yellow mix to simulated eggs. No other breakfast items were present at the breakfast station that I visited at 7:30 am. The room was run down with worn dirty carpet, a complicated app for the tv that sometimes loaded and sometimes failed to load, and no channel guide. The bathroom had scattered areas of mold in the shower tile groat, paint was peeling from the ceiling in small spots, the shower curtain rod was Rusty, the shower head was old tech but did work, the bathroom towels consisted of scum ou wash cloth and hand towel and a “ bath towel” that may have been suitable for a small child. Furnishings were old and tired. During my stay the motel had a fire that required evacuation of the building. When I returned later that evening after fishing for the day it was clear that my room had been entered, the luggage rack was folded laying in the floor and there were no towels, etc in the bathroom. I had to go to the front desk where I was given a set of towels and was told they had to “inspect and ventilate” the rooms."
"The rooms were fairly spacious for the price, and there was a Lazy-Boy! It was the most comfortable hotel chair ever.
Breakfast was underwhelming at best."
"I was originally charged for the two day stay which I knew and was okay with then I got charged another $167.47 cents for a service fee that they never told me about that could take 7 -10 business days to come back into my bank account, the balcony porch was falling apart and could have been dangerous for my two children that was with my wife and I"
"Really enjoyed our stay here and the cabin was very cute! My only complaint was the bed was pretty uncomfortable and the frame extremely squeaky, which when you're sharing a room with little little kids, makes for a rough night. Would definitely recommend though and will likely stay again, maybe in a bigger cabin."
