Motel near the lake. The lake is just across street. Room is ok, a little old, nothing fancy, but you get everything you need. 20 min walk to the town center, you get free parking inside the hotel.

Room was clean, across from the lake, and easy to park at. Staff helped with several dinner suggestions as well with some extra items we forgot to bring. WiFi was spotty but good enough for email.

Nice one bedroom apartment. Like the living room and free laundry facility; however, the dryer was not working well, it took more than an hour still couldn't dry a medium size load. It only has one washer and one dryer.The property is just across from the lake, but not too many restaurants around the area.

Room was clean and well appointed. Very convenient parking right in front of the room. Only negative was terrible wifi. It was ok in the bedroom but so weak in the living room (where we spent most time) it kept dropping out. I would suggest adding a booster in the living room.
