On arrival there was hair in the shower, the sink , on the pillow and side table. Toilet had been cleaned, but not perfectly. Staff were not rude, but just disinterested. One positive - the bathroom had a very good shower.

Arrived for check in and was welcomed not very warmly by a man who seemed to be in charge. Did not speak to me or my boyfriend hardly at all, and proceeded to leave for about 5 min with us alone in lobby. We walked into our room to find shoe prints on our sheets, crumbs on the floor, and the shower was covered in rust. Immediately alerted the man who checked us in that we would like to check out, and we left for a different hotel. Unfortunately we could not get a refund. After letting him know about the conditions of our room, he seemed to not really care at all, didn’t try and make it right, and we went on our way. I would strongly advise not to stay here!!

I knew going into this stay i wouldn't be getting luxury, but it was nice and clean, the beds were comfortable, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The property was a little run down but you can't beat the location for walkability to the lake, the casinos, and the shops and restaurants. I'd stay there again.

Clean but outdated which is in line with the low price. The trouble came when I left 2 shirts in the room. Uncooperative and rude staff and I will never get them back. I was told it's my fault for accidentally leaving them there. The post office has black listed this motel and won't work with them. Very disappointed.
