I paid extra for jacuzzi room bathtub stopper would not work and shower spout would not sit off
Pros:

Location was ok

Cons:

The hotel charged me 300 for a second night that I didn’t reserve or stay. It’s in dispute right now. I’ve spoken to mgmt 4 times and all they willing to do is give a credit for a future stays

Pros:

The location was great and the pool. The staff was amazing as well.

Cons:

The room was not very clean. There was brown substance on the back of the bathroom door and wall. Also we couldn't even walk around barefoot in our room without our feet getting dirty. The beds were not comfortable at all! The water pressure in the bathroom sink was just a trinkle, so we had to go to the kitchen to wash our hands. Also thought they would supply a coffee maker at least in the room, but they didn't. We rented one of the apartment suites and they barely supplied anything. Plus all the outlets were lose and wouldn't hold anything that we plugged in!

Pros:

Location near fishing charter

Cons:

Room was not cleaned (full trash can and dirty towels). Refrigerator did not keep items cold. Weird odor in room (damp, musty). No employees smiled, thanked us for staying or offered to compensate for issues reported

We will never stay in that motel again. We like to help people, but apparently, they don't.
Pros:

It was a nice view of the lake. There was smoke coming from Canada wild fires so we really didn't get to see much as visibility was only about 1/4 mile.

Cons:

During the first night of two actual nights, we received a call from our daughter-in-law that our son was in the Emergency Room at our hometown with what appeared to be a heart attack. We packed up and I advised the manager at the front desk that we needed to check out as we had an emergency at home. I asked if we could get a refund on our room for the second night and a refund of $50 for our little dog that we had with us. We paid $100 for the dog for two nights. She refused both refunds saying we needed to give them a 48 hour notice. I asked how could I give a 48 hour notice when it was an emergency from home!!! She said it wasn't her problem. I had requested the 1st floor as I have a tough time going up stairs with my war injuries. That wasn't granted either, and there was no elevator. I had to carry all the baggage up the stairs and back down the stairs with no help. I am 77 years old.......This was the worst experience at a motel I have ever had! My wife and I were finally able to get away after my years worth of fighting throat cancer and picked the wrong motel to stay in for sure.

Ok ! Thought $50.00 a night for a pet was too high!
Pros:

Location view pool

Cons:

Potholes in blacktop our door had problems ! Hard to shut. And gaps around door when door is shut letting hallway talk in and light from hallway. People started talking in hallway around 10 pm. To at least 11:30 pm. Off and on .Made it tough to get to sleep.

Horrible
Pros:

We wont be staying at this establishment anymore. The manager gave us keys that did not open the room. We had to walk up stairs with our luggage. Once we got in the room the comforter had stains all over it. The manager was very unprofessional. I asked if she could give us a discount for all the inconvenience and she just answeredd No very curtly.

Cons:

Better customer service cleaner, rooms, and more accommodating than what she was. I was very disappointed in the accommodations in the room. The room was just nasty.no sleep due to people going up and down hall. We had double beds and they were supposed to be queen beds. When asked if I could get a refund she said I had to get it from booking . Com There was only 1 ice machine for entire building
