The location is great, a walking distance to the Lake.
The internet access is not good enough.

The staff was very kind and friendly. The hotel is…. vintage. You cannot beat the location across from the beach and Gar Woods. The sunset from the room was incredible. If you need fancy, go somewhere else.
Had our dog and choices are slim in North Lake area. I didn't expect much but was disappointed we couldn't connect to internet, no coffee maker, and it was a bit dirty. The room was spacious and beds good-sheets smelled nice and clean. Location great- across the street from dog park on the Lake!
Excellent location Rider process Street from the lake. Great restaurant accross the Street and 7-11. Definitely the best priced option, for the money paid I'm very happy with my stay

Gar woods is across the street and sunrises there are amazing
Weather was amazing, and the room was nice and comfortable. I only stayed one night, but it was a good experience, would recommend.

Although a bit “rustic” inside and out, not a bad place to stay for the price. Best: Refurbished bathroom & very clean room.
Note: had a kitchen and coffee maker, but you need to bring your own coffee. Fridge was not plugged in so lost its use for 1 day. No A/C but the nights were cool and were never hot, even when the days were. Could be noisy during the day but very quiet at night - little to no traffic. Big plus - is it’s across the street from a nice beach area with facilities and restaurants and a convenience store are within 5 min walk. I would stay here again.
This motel was in a very beautiful area overlooking the lake. The room had a small kitchenette with dishes included. Don't let it's vintage appearance fool you, it was very comfortable and warm. The walls are thin so if you get noisy neighbors it would probably not be as serene but we had very quiet neighbors. The check-in and out was a breeze. We had a very nice time and will definitely stay here again. The rooms could have used a bit more cleaning but it wasn't filthy. Thank you for having us!

The owner was really helpful and accommodating to an early check in. Rooms were clean. The building is old but overall it was great at the price point.
I have eaten pancakes thicker than the pillows, the carpet, sheets, tv, shower and general room esthetic felt very worn down and in need of a refresh.
However, it was the cheapest option, so perhaps it is a 10/10 for budget, but 3/10 on all else.
Staff was fine, it felt safe, it was the lowest priced option, but don't expect much else.
Ed was very friendly and welcoming upon arrival. The room was much bigger than we expected, and had a microwave and mini fridge. It's right across from a public beach and pier which was beautiful, there is also a restaurant. We also enjoyed the cafe down the street for breakfast. Great proximity to Northstar, we will definitely stay here again!
Great value! Really liked the size of the place, would definitely stay again (though if you have a dust allergy/are sensitive, you'll definitely feel it, the place was clean but a friend with dust problems was coughing all night)

Pretty good deal, for the area
I liked that it was in a really nice area, the beach was right across the street and was not busy. The room was pretty clean. It wasn’t the nicest place but I slept pretty comfortable, I wish they had ac . Overall I think for the price it was reasonable and we would actually go back . Thanks.
