It’s basically a motel. It’s cute if you just need a place to sleep. Our room was super small and the bathroom was super tiny. The people running it were very nice. Good access to the beach

Great place to enjoy a quiet getaway
Long drive and weather turned cold. Great to arrive to a warm cozy room and greeted my a very nice desk clerk. It was a smaller place, less crowded with people. I suited what my niece and I wanted, quiet no people

I thought we secured a lake view room as was pictured on the website. The lake view was if you craned your neck to look out the window. Fortunately, I got an extreme discounted price on Expedia. The breakfast room had 3 very small tables and a breakfast that was not impressive at all. It was a clean facility other than that there’s much better out there if your paying full price.
