Beautiful property by the bay. Some of the features could be updated a bit (bathrooms fixtures, add a bathroom fan, better air conditioner, maybe a ceiling fan in living/kitchen area). Overall an enjoyable stay !

Very Badly in need of updating and maintenance outside and in the rooms! Could use better cleaning. Beds were very uncomfortable. The motel does have a million dollar view - right on the lake and they have a lot of chairs on the grass in front to sit in and enjoy the view.
