Good value for the price.
My second floor room was great- nice beds and updated. First floor is being worked on so a little disheveled. No breakfast but I think that’s reflected in the prices. Overall was a solid place to stay.

Small cozy room. Very clean. Front desk personnel were very friendly. Rite on the lake.
Thinner walls, but not terribly loud.

Okay for an quick overnight
Nice enough for an overnight stay. Staff was kind and friendly. The worst part was nearly being gassed out of our room as someone with a diesel vehicle thought it a good idea to run their vehicle outside our window for 20 minutes with all the exhaust entering our room. It’s could use some updating but we were only there for 13 hours so we could overlook that.
