The hotel needs updating but for the price we paid it was fine. Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Since it's on the highway we could hear traffic all night along with trains blowing their whistles.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Check in was an utter nightmare. I had paid via expedia and even shown the staff the credit card charge, he was rude and disrespectful demanding payment. I stated that i was going to call expedia to sort out the issue which continued to irritate him and he acted as if i was not within my right to ensure that i didnt pay twice for a reservation . I called expedia and got the issue sorted out and the front desk manager continued to treat me with disrespect and rudeness as if i was a nuisance to be at this hotel. The rooms were not what i was expecting. They were old and janky. Walls painted and apots on the ceiling as if no care was taken. The wifi aignal was very low. The temperature of the room was either freezing or roasting, no in between. After staying two nights, we regretted our decision to stay at this hotel and wished we would have slept in our vehical. We were even locked out of our room at 9 am on check out day. Checl out time is at 11am. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and tell others to avoid it and stay elsewhere. For the price, there are certain expectations that you expect, ive stayed in nicer motel 6 than his hotel. There is even a random toilet on their property just sitting there. The beds were very uncomfortable additionally. Next time we will be staying at the casino which is not only cheaper but much more updated and had much more respectful staff.

For a cheaper hotel, it was very nice. A little out dated but comfortable. 10 minute walk to a huge beach was a great perk.

It was okay. Good place to sleep and shower. The double room beds are small. Two adults could not fit in one bed. The WiFi was spotty. The tv repeatedly searched for service.

Close to Gladstone lakefront, food options within walking distance. Quiet. Beds are a bit high up so if you are short and handicapped it’s a bit of a struggle getting up into bed. Staff is friendly and helpful

Nice, spacious, comfortable and clean. Everything you need. We just stopped for a night on our travels but check in was super easy and the room exceeded expectations. Don't let the motel vibe scare you away (unless you are looking for room service). The room temperature was comfortable when we got there which is unusual. Super cozy, I would stay here again

The hotel was great and convenient for where I needed to go, but the only downside was that therl trains passing through would blare their horns in the early morning making it hard to sleep in and relax.

It was very clean. A little dated but clean. Continental breakfast needs some work. Value was great. The pictures under property description makes you think its on the water with docks. Its not on the water, your blocks away from the bay. A little misleading. The staff were very nice and accommodating. I would stay again. .

It was not bad for one night but I wouldn’t want to stay a week. The bed was comfortable and water was hot. I think if I was visiting that area in he future I would find other accommodation.
