Ward

Disliked: Staff & service
No front desk greeting or "enjoy your stay"! Just handed a key. Entered a room that felt like 90 degrees. Fortunately, the AC functioned, and after about 30 minutes we had a temp that we should have had when we walked in. There were no surface, hooks or rack in the shower area. Are guests supposed to put their towel or clothing...on the floor while showering? The bathroom door would not shut completely. The sink drain had a rusted out flange, chipped enamel and gunk. Judging from the thickness, of the bathroom towels, they must be World War ll surplus. Otherwise, given that our stay was a quick hitter, it did the job...barely.

Great customer Service and Location!

Great location right across form the marina and walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants and the ferry to Mac Island. We arrived super late after sailing across the lake and the staff made sure we could still check in even though their office was closed.

Very nice little motel. After reading some comments I was a little bit worried about the fact that the hotel would be a outdated. Don't worry about that, the stuff is very caring, it is very very clean and is in good shape.

Not impressed

A very old property that could use a renovation. The bed was hard as a rock and the bathroom fixtures had trouble functioning. Clean enough and very basic, but I don’t think that I would stay again.
