Reasonable place for the price

3 beds in 2 pretty small rooms served the need for us staying the night during our ski trip. We ate breakfast at Heidi's just across the street. Bathroom was pretty clean. The sheets and blankets were clean too but looked quite old. Carpet looked old too. Overall, I would not mind staying again. But I would probably prefer a slightly more spacious main room.

It did not look like the pics on the website, the room was so small that we left, we didnā€™t like and felt so tiny for our stuff and us, the outside looked like they didnā€™t keep up with the place and the stairs were terrible

Bang for your buck and really nice workers!

Super nice receptionist and issue with pilot light going out was resolved quickly by the maintenance guy who was also really nice. Great value for the money if you just need a place to crash and aren't picky about the little things.

Old and needs a makeover!!

This motel definitely needs to be remodeled. Beds were rough, microwave was so old, it didnā€™t even pop our popcorn we bought from the store!! The small fridge was leaking on the floor. Bathroom was dated with black/white checkerboard tile. There were holes in wall in the bathroom. We definitely arenā€™t going to stay at this place again. The front office woman was very nice and sweet, but not for the $130 a night price tag!! There are better places to stay in South Lake for the price!! My bad for not doing more research!

I never leave a review if I'm Satisfied with my stay but this one is different. The general manager of the property was mean and grumpy to me and my guest. We went to the convenience store. And I picked the wrong key and we could not get into my room. The office seems closed and seems no one is there. While we were waiting outside to call the number hoping somebody pick up the phone ( it was very late 4 am ) my guest was smoking outside and we couldn't even think that they had a designated area because we kept looking for a way for us to contact them. In this situation, I left my phone inside my room and we have been using my guest phone to call them. After almost an hour of waiting we sat in my car because it was cold and I saw this general manager come out from the office and approach her. I was so pleased to ask for help from her to open a door for us. The moment she approached us she was mean demeanor to me and my guest finger-pointing at my Guest because he smoked in an undesignated area she told us we were loud and I couldn't bring the Guest into my room. First of all, we are not loud because if we are loud the other guests complain to us never experienced in any hotel Iā€™ve been to that I can't bring guests into my room. She was very mean to my guest and she insisting letting my guest out of the hotel and kept arguing with us instead of asking politely to us if we needed help in the first place to think she saw us in the camera that we were outside instead she texted me
