Pros: Impressed by the size of the room for the price we paid. We were not in the room much - only to sleep. We had a lakeview room that had an awesome sunrise the following morning. The room was clean and the heat worked great. We were freezing from being @ the island most of the day in 32 degree weather and when we got back to the room it was super warm and the beds were comfortable. Good selection of TV channels and a decent free breakfast the next morning. Great location to everything. Would recommend.

Pros: What we liked best was the way the rooms are set up. There is an open suite with a private room on each side. The rooms are lovely, nice linens, towels, pillows, and comfortable beds. We were traveling with my brothers and their wives, whom we haven't seen in a long time. It made it easy for us to spend time together. Plus, the location was central enough for us to walk to restaurants and local stores. I would happily return to this motel/hotel in the future.

Pros: The facilities were fantastic for the price. About time motels upgraded to lcd tv'S. We had an extra roll of tp (one guy with four girls). Very good maid service and service all around. Desk people were great - like they took pride in their workplace. Did not smell any smoke in the room. An ashtray with chairs were available for smokers in the parking lot away from the entrance. Private decks lake-side to relax after a long drive or just read a good novel (Please do not feed the seagulls) The pool area and other common areas were well kept but we didn't use them this trip. The continental morning feed was very good with plenty of food and seating. I really love this motel and plan to stay there next year.
