Did not eat at property restaurant, the menu did not appeal to us. The room was large (suite) and clean; whereas the bathroom was somewhat dirty and had defective caulking.

Great little motel! Perfect location, lake front and walking distance to the local park and shops/ restaurants. The place is very nostalgic yet clean and in great shape, hot tub was hot, and the beach access was perfect. Overall an excellent stay for the price.
