Staff was nice. Room wasn't the cleanest but it was ok. Coffee pot was missing in our room. Some thug probably stole it. Who knows. But I would stay there again. If you want freedom over luxury at a good price this is your place. Enjoyed the pool and the lake view. If you want a good lake view make sure you get one of the rooms on the top level. The lack of bed bugs warmed my heart. Thank you Hawks nest!

Room was in terrible condition. Door frame was splintered, had screws holding it together and had NO interior lock! Damage to sheetrock next to the door had been mudded but not sanded or painted. There was a power strip pugged into an outlet in the floor. Refrigerator made so much noise we had to unplug it. Toliet seat was cracked and pinch me!!! Bathroom ceiling fan was dirty and the light fixture contained hundreds of dead bugs!! Also a 6” hole in the bathroom ceiling had a bare lightbulb socket in it! Floor of bathroom uneven & poorly patched with gobs of silicone. Found a silverfish in the shower which was disposed of in the toliet which barely flushed. It’s surprising this hotel can pass fire, electoral or building inspections!!!

The first bed in our bedroom was dilapidated; when you sat on one side, the other side fell down. The toilet flushing could be heard through the sink pipes. There was rust from water dripping from the tub faucet. Their breakfast consisted of pop-tarts & day-old donuts. The TV could only be turned off from the TV, as it wouldn't work from the remote control. The man that checked us in looked like he just got out of prison; he didn't even bother checking for my ID when we arrived. There was also presence of a cockroach. This was just awful. The owner was very rude in his response to our complaints, so we'll be seeking a refund.

The facilities are older, but the management is trying to do some updating and modernizing. Main thing is the rooms are clean plenty of space and comfortable. We did not use the pool, but it did look inviting and it was being used by others. The staff was helpful when looking for a place to eat, and the manager was super helpful getting us a one night refund as we needed to cut our stay short. I would recommend this place if you're looking for affordability and not picky about decor.

The woman that checked us in was very nice and helpful. The facility was probably very nice 50 years ago but I think that was the last time the carpet was changed or maybe even cleaned. The room was nasty. The pool was cloudy the whole time. This is more like a low income apartment than a hotel. No room service for the whole stay. The garbage outside was full the whole time. People smoking weed all over the place. I will not return and would not recommend it to anyone. The pics are a very big misrepresentation of what it actually looks like.

Great location though.

Refrigerator was very loud, toilet handle had to be held down for 15 seconds to flush properly, microwave light was broken, walls are pretty thin, and the room would reek of weed every few hours. Amenities are very outdated and not very well maintained. The door handle didn’t work when we tried to get in and the manager had to help us, because apparently sometimes it only works if you turn the handle up. The central and lower floors don’t have a view of the lake. Managers were helpful, but the hotel was not the most pleasant experience and mostly only gave a roof over our heads.

The pictures of the hotel, lobby and rooms on the internet are a honeypot play. Those pics are from several years ago and do not accurately represent the current conditions. A husband & Wife team took over managing the property about 3 years ago. This team handles everything including cleaning the rooms themselves and maintenance etc etc. Upon entering the main lobby I thought I had walked into the living room of a hoarder, there was stuff pilled up everywhere and nobody to be seen. I actually thought maybe the booking website was in error and this hotel was actually closed. After a minute or so the wife of the team came out and greeted me. After a conversation I was given my room key but she did tell me I may have to jiggle the lock to get it to open? I entered the \"Non\" smoking hotel room only to be greeted by a strong Oder of cigarettes, it smelled like a giant ashtray. A small couch was inside the room covered in stains, cushions, arms, everything stained from what appeared to be a result of people using the pool outside and then sitting on the couch with their wet chlorine soaked clothes, it was really gross. There was a sink outside of the toilet area and when I went to turn on the water the enter faucet lifted up and moved around several inches in all directions. Upon opening the door to the toilet and shower area the flooring looked like someone laid down regular plywood and just painted over it, the wood wasn't even or cut to fit properly.

Roll the dice----old or new

They seem to be doing some aggressive remodeling. But we didn't get one of the remodeled rooms (like you see in the site photos). We got what they are tearing out and replacing.
The bed was comfortable, the room wasn't dirty, just worn. Well, the inside of the door and the door frame were grimy.

They are associated with the Inn at Grand Glaize, so we had the option of using their restaurants and facilities. But we only stayed one night, and we weren't on site very long. Grand Glaize is also getting a make-over.

I would stay here again. But I would confirm a newer room.

Did not end up staying

When I arrived, I had to call the manager because it was outside of the office's hours. He seemed nice, a bit confused about my booking. He did mention that he took over the hotel about 3 weeks ago. When I got to my room, it took me a few tries to get my door open. When I went to lock my door, there was no chain or anything else beside the bolt. I had a hard time locking the door, which did not make me feel safe. The room I was given had two queen beds instead of the king bed, which is what I booked nor could you see the lake from my room. There was no trashcan to be found in the room and bathroom fixtures (ie. the overhead light and fan) did not have any coverings and you could see into the ceiling. The blinds, which were right next to the bed, had two decent size holes in them and there were no curtains cover the window. After about 30 minutes in the room, I did not feel comfortable staying by myself. I ended up leaving and going to another hotel. I did not contact the manager, since I was feeling so uncomfortable, I just wanted to leave.
