The hot water heater is a little loud and clanking. Check in was a little confusing probably because we did it last minute kind of spontaneous. But everything else was wonderful.

Clean, updated motel. Beds were comfortable. It’s my first time staying at motel with no staff. That said, you need to be aware of what you need for your room if staying more than one night - like extra towels, extra coffee,etc so that cleaning staff can provide while they are on premise. I would stay here again knowing how it works.

We liked our room. It was very clean and attractive. We did have to ask for more coffee and wish the waste baskets had been emptied. The tv was very confusing to use. Simple directions would have been helpful.

It was a quaint little cottage with the studio on the back side of it. It had its own entrance and way to get to the big porch that overlooked the lake. No complaints. I gave a 4 for staff because I never saw anyone not that they didnt do something. They answered all my questions very quickly and politely.

I hate giving bad reviews, but we will not be staying at this property again. It smelled like mold and mildew the entire time we were there. They tried to cover up the smell with chlorine, but it did not work. It was clean and newer, however there was water under the bathroom floor that was squishy and the condensation from the toilet Also ran onto the floor in the bathroom, causing a smell. The quarters, specially, in the bathroom were tight and cramped. We could not find regular TV so we logged into our own Netflix account. Also, there was no staff so we had no one taking out our trash or making our beds or refilling the towels. We were there for the hot air, balloon festival and the price was good, but as I already said, we will not be staying there again.

Brand new furniture. Comfortable bed. Clean except the screen windows need to be replaced. Also, the radiators were extremely dusty and the air conditioner rain all night and was noisy. Other than that…all good!

The outside of the property was not clean and had many cobwebs around the benches, railings, and outdoor hallway ceiling. It just looked like it had not been cleaned in a long time. Our room was fine, but the shower floor needed regrouting around the edges. What was there was not pleasant to look at. Also the floor heater in the bathroom needed paint. The rest was fine, but in general could have been much better. It should be the work of a maintenance crew, not the person who cleans the rooms.
