Definitely a 3 star property. The location was great and the management friendly and helpful. The hotel rooms have no privacy, the beds were too high, the floors had no rugs. Definitely a compromise for the price.

The room was not very clean, especially the floor. Dust and cobwebs. Cabinet door falling off, shower grout missing. AC noisy. Beds very old. Stone wall outside falling apart. Just very old and in need of repairs and upgrades.

We had a great time here. The kayaks and canoes were a great plus. Super chill staff and the motel is right on the water. Wonderful memories were made here including my seven year-old learning to kayak on his own. The price was also right. The bad reviews are clearly from haters. Don’t be put off by them. This place is the best.

It’s ok

The stay with my 3 kids was ok. Staff was very friendly and the view was great. The beds were not comfortable at all and I wish the floors had been cleaner in the room. Yes it’s outdated and could use a little remodeling.

The staff were courteous and helpful. The location on Lake Flower is ok, but looks at a marina and right next to Rt 86. They offer a wide selection of paddle craft to use at no charge. This is an older motel with small rooms, tiny bathrooms and showing it’s age. The rooms were disappointing especially for the price tag which was outrageous.
