The dishes that were stored away were un organized and extremely dirty. The plates had food and grease on them. Room was out dated and kind of dirty. Had no shampoo, conditioner or soap. We had to ask for it after our showers. On the upside, great location. Everything is walking distance. Great Lake view from balcony. The family that owns it seems very nice. Hotel has such great potential!

Malo
No servía el baño, increíble pagar $200 por una noche y no poder usar el baño. La tv se desconectaba prolongadamente por lo que no pudimos ni siquiera ver TV. Llamamos a recepción por el baño inservible y llegaron con un destapador, hicieron un desastre en el baño que ni siquiera se dignaron a limpiar, había una chica y un chico y solo se reían y hacían cara de asco, pensé que nos iban a cambiar de habitación pero solo dejaron un destapador y se fueron, el cuál no utilizamos porque el baño quedó con un olor horrible. La habitación olía mal y las sábanas también. El hotel está en una buena ubicación, pero es solo eso, lo demás fué pésimo. Definitivamente no vivimos una experiencia grata.

Needs a deep cleaning
The motel was typical and the only redeeming feature was the hot tub. But the main problem is that the room was dirty. Staying there for a couple of days triggered our allergies. The vents were dusty. The utensils in the kitchen were dirty. The floor was dirty

Great price and no minimum stay. The 2 bdrm was great and comfortable. Very clean and great view. Will definitely be back to stay. The reception are could use some clean up and update but doesn’t affect anyone’s overall experience there. I was able to order food while there. Highly recommend the lodge.

The hotel itself is a bit dated, but that adds a bit of charm if you don’t mind a more classic feel. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, which is always a priority for me. The staff is warm, welcoming, and attentive, making sure guests feel at home. If you’re looking for a centrally located, budget-friendly option with friendly service and clean accommodations, this place is a solid choice!

I feel like FSL is over priced for the condition of the property and the rooms. It is pretty ran down and needs a lot of indoor and outdoor attention. -They do not have roll aways (as stated on the Expedia page for $50 a day). - The room smelled of weed badly which I found out if was coming from down stairs below us being sucked in from the air split outside. Informed the desk on check out. -The room was very run down. Carpet, mattress, deck. I wouldn’t return only for the price point and condition. Good for families that need space or babies that don’t want to bother other customers on a vacation.

I really really wanted to love this place but it just kept getting worse. When we arrived check in was smooth. We confirm with the clerk that the pools were heated, however, that was a lie. Our room was super small. The beds were not queen bed but full beds. The water in the shower linger and wouldn’t go down. The room is cute but falling apart and smells old. Tiny little TV…. Bathroom beyond small. Never again .
