This is the worst place I’ve ever stayed. The carpet was disgusting and stained, the body wash and shampoo and conditioner were all nearly gone, there was no tv or internet or ac. The most disturbing thing as that it was not secure. The door kept opening off and on all night from wind or other doors slamming. The chain on the door was missing. Very unhappy. A cleaning fee was added on which was not disclosed and we paid $200 for this. The man who checked us in was efficient and nice.

Only mirror bathroom cabinet by sink, debris on glass shelf inside.
Staff friendly & helpful.

there's really not a check in desk, you go to the pizza restaurant to get your keys. Our room had a new TV that requires you to download a Visio app to watch. The only problem is you have to have WIFI. this room had one bar and the TV could not connect to it. The maintenance guy stopped by and he couldn't get it working. Was told electrician are working on this so we got to sit in our room with no TV and no WIFI. The beds are terrible very uncomfortable. The HVAC unit sits right above the beds and blows on you every time the unit turns on. The lake is impossible to get to from the property no access we could find.

I paid NOT to stay there…I checked in and said “Hell no!!” I checked out the room, which as horrible…the bathroom was even worse, no towels, if you were to take a shower, you would have to dry off with a hand towel…and the Fridge didn’t even have a door on it… the “lake view” room didn’t have a window were you could even see the lake…we didn’t want to catch something, so we ended up driving back to Logan.

Old, decrepit, dirty and run down
This place is an absolute dive. It was built 50+ years ago and has not been kept up. The mattresses and blankets seemed about that old as well. The bathroom was missing tiles. There were bugs and spiders visible around the room. When I first walked into the room, it was clear that someone had slept in the bed and the room had not been cleaned. This was the definition of a dive.

In the first room the bed was tilted. Would have rolled right out. Next room had bugs. I have pictures. Two light bulbs missing. Another light bulb twisted right off. I would never stay there again. $150 was charged to Pay Pal acct before arriving. They charged another $45. I want my money back.

The door to the room did not properly lock and close. There were cockroaches and the only way to cool the room down was with box fans. When we talked to the front desk they couldn't care less about the state of the rooms and bushed it all off.
