Cute and close to the casinos. Voucher to make the lake entry cheaper. We had a problem with the fire alarm in our room and they upgraded us immediately. Staff was so nice.

Great location, comfy beds and a very friendly staff!!
Pros:

Super friendly and helpful staff. The beds are super comfortable! Coffee shop in the lobby has great coffee and food.

Cons:

Nothing. If I had to complain I didn’t love the smell of the provided soaps. But they fit the basecamp theme. Truly no complaints.

Basecamp is well named, a good spot to start your adventure.
Pros:

The staff was friendly and the location was terrific. The beer garden behind the motel served great beer and featured a decent menu. Basecamp serves an outdoors oriented clientele well.

Cons:

They seem a bit disorganized. On our arrival, the room wasn’t stocked with towels and the faucet needed to be reattached. We walked to the nearest beach which is private and learned that we should have received passes from the front desk.

Never Again.
Pros:

The location.

Cons:

Staff not helpful, room old and baseboards very dirty. No guaranteed parking because random people park on the hotels guest parking. Staff did nothing to help with this. The a/c unit was a joke. It was like once they had their money they could care less about making my stay a good one. Overpriced for what I received. I would never stay there again. I would recommend others look elsewhere to spend their hard earned money. STAY AWAY!.

Pros:

Location, cleanliness, and simplicity. Also the fact that the room i stayed in (246), was able to sleep peacefully with a baby while the live music was playing right by.

Cons:

The bed. Too soft. Body ache a little due to being sunken in cause of the softness.
