Good location, easy self-parking, mini-fridge and microwave oven in the room, the only issue was that the temperature in the room was bit high during night time.

Sam and his wife are very helpful and responsive . I also like the keyless entry. We did our check in with our phone. I wish that they are more flexible on the check in time. We got there at three o’clock and had to wait in the parking lot

Good location but lacking the extra effort.
Great location and we enjoyed our stay well enough. There were looks of little things that should/could be addressed. Nothing huge but all together it was worth noting. Definitely felt like a safe area and was conveniently located.

The pool and hot tub were not operational. I wish properties wouldn't advertise a pool when they don't really have one. :( Other than that, this place was great. The staff was very friendly and always available, the room was very nice, and the ambiance outside was great. We played cornhole and used the outside tables for games. Walkable to coffee, restaurants, and the beach. I'll stay here again. I just won't bother packing my swimsuit.

Staff is great. Friendly, responsive and helpful. It’s an older property but well cared for. Lots of cute outdoor areas to sit and hang out. Walking distance to the lake, restaurants and shops. I would definitely stay again!

The property manager Sam, the location, and the price was the only good part of this hotel. It was dirty and run down, plus the door to the next neighbor’s room was paper thin so I could hear the entire conversation of my neighbors. The sheets had stains and the floors were filthy, and at one point dirty brown water came out of the sink and shower. Was not a fan, but Sam the manager was kind and responded quickly.

Very nice stay. The only issue I had was that the pillows were very thick and uncomfortable. The room was lovely, the shower was great and the staff responsive. I would stay again but bring my own pillow.
