Place was ok for an overnight stay. It was clean but there was a bug trap under the nightstand filled with dead bugs. Kinda gross , but I also appreciated it because There was a huge live cockroach in the room when we checked in. I also understood because it’s so close to the lake so it was not a big deal to me. All and all it was fine for our overnight stay while traveling. Check in and out was super easy and convenient. The owner posts her info if you need any assistance.

It was so bad my wife would not get out of the car to go check in. Windows were broken, doors were replaced with a plywood face, wood was rotten, it was dusty, dirty and unclean. It was the kind of place that charges by the hour. I tried to cancel, but the reservations people told I had to call the motel, however they did not know the number to the motel. I got the motel number and heard a voice mail that was truly the most unprofessional message I have ever heard. This place a nothing but a Dive Motel and should be considered dangerous.

Staff and owner were very friendly and helpful. The fridge had a freezer and that helped for keeping water frozen for long hikes and for the reusable ice packs. Parking was easy. Issues I had were ants in the kitchen, and someone’s hair? On the bed. But for the price the stay was decent, and the kindness of cleaning staff and owner made it so much worth it!

Despite the \"nostalgic\" ambiance of this motel property, there were so many basic upgrades needed, it would be impossible to list them all. I will first note that the toilet tank took a very long time to fill up after a single flush. The parking lot was well lit, however the bright lights made it difficult to sleep as there were no \"black out\" curtains on the windows. There was something resembling a smoke detector above the door (inside our room) that would emit a very bright flash of light every 30 seconds! The carpet was extremely stained and should be the first thing that gets replaced... a vinyl floor would be a big improvement. The mini-fridge was just \"ok\" but the freezer compartment was covered in frost so thick we could barely fit 2 ice packs in there. The fridge door shelves had broken guards, so it could not hold our yogurt or soda cans there. We had to prop a gallon jug of water in front of the fridge door to keep it closed. Need I go on . . . ?

Fairly nice and casual place for a low rate but a very outdated look of fake wood paneling in the room.

Parking is right at your door so very convenient and a park bench is there too so great for reorganizing.

The Lakeview is off to the side but it is just across the street if you want to go down there on dusty roads. There are nicer places on the lake to go picnic further along and on the west side.

My favorite Mexican place went out of business so was hard to find food near.

This is a little family run motel so expect that vibe and enjoy the laid-back moments

First thing we opened the door. It smelled like cat piss. The carpet was so old and nasty, if you stay make sure to wear water shoes or rubber shoes to walk on the floor. It was that bad. The bathroom sink was blocked up. On for 5 seconds and the bowl is full. The kitchen had a stove that said it was for looks and not to use. The frig was mini and had tape inside the door to hold it together. The microwave that was on the kitchen table didn't open fully cause the table was all warped.i tried to make coffee in the coffeepot but it didn't let water through and all you smelled was burning.So I thought I'll try to make the coffee in the microwave. It took 3 min. Too get the coffee luke warm. The windows were all rotted and screens with big holes in them. So foeget about opening them to air the place out of the smell of cat piss . Cause you don't want to let the mice in while you sleep. The bed was also gross.I went to check for bed bugs.but had a cover over matress . Probably cause they have or had them. Also I saw a cat poop under the bed a couple inches. With crumbs and nasty stuff in the bed trail. You will be better off camping in the campground across the street. Wished I had a tent with. I would have forfeited the 95.00 with tax room.I felt so dirty after I left there. I had to wear water shoes in the shower cause I didn't want to catch anything there.

Motel

This is a great motel 6 type motel. I paid about 90 per night- It cost more for the kitchen. The kitchen has a sink, microwave, and mini fridge- the stove didn’t work. The bathroom was standard with toilet, shower and sink. The bedroom section The cleaning lady was very nice- she had two pets: a mini dog and a cat. When I was packing my stuff to leave, the cat entered my room and would not leave. It got on top of my bed- I’m okay with pets, but my husband is allergic to cats.

The hotel is trying to keep a certain era look- that’s a great idea… but things like the carpet need to go…my safety chain was broken. The motel is called lake view- but I didn’t have a window view of the lake. There were some outside chairs, but they faced the motel. It would have been nice that there would be a patio/outdoor space to sit and see the lake.

I like this property and the history of it, they’re a family business and it definitely has “home / cozy vibes”. I stayed here the first time in 2021 and really enjoyed the stay which is why I chose to stay again in 2025, it was a good stay but the room was a bit dirty this time around unfortunately. Shower curtains smelled really bad of urine hopefully they replace that soon, there were a bunch of dead bugs on the sink and cabinet. There was a giant cockroach when we first arrived in the room we only ever saw the one though, so I’m assuming it snuck in and got stuck in there? Either way definitely freaked us out at first. Had a couple issues with the tv, had to wait 30mins for it to update and then it kept freezing because the wifi was slow. Checking in & out was easy and parking was great. This is a very convenient and low cost place to stay, I do hope they clean a bit better, I would still comeback and stay again.

We stayed in Room 4. There was zero water pressure and no hot water.

So both of those rooms are freezing cold, it's was a memorable adventure. It is not bad to stop and spend the night and leave. The outside is amazing and the views are incredible, but inside the room wear shoes because the tac strips under the carpet, we'll cut your feet. Our coffee pot was nasty dirty and unusable. My wife and I stay at roadside hotels frequently and this one needs a little help. The owner does it all by herself so i am sure she does the best she can.

sleeping with our neighbors

Stayed a night at the lakeview motel a few days ago, while it is not a bad place to stay when passing through, i can’t recommend for longer than a night or two. the beginning of our experience was great, a room to ourselves/cozy overall, we were rudely awoken by our neighbors with walls so thin you’d think they were in the same room. around 1am, we could hear their entire conversation as they'd slam the microwave door reheating food we could smell in our room through the crack of the door. if you’re lucky enough to have quiet neighbors, not a bad place, if you’re even more lucky, you’d stay somewhere with thicker walls. the lake isabella area is charming and wouldn’t mind giving it another chance in the future.
