Great spot! Great price!
Very clean. Great access to a small beach across the street. Just make sure to read your emails about the sign in process as the front desk is unmanned… there is a registration form abs a security deposit form that you need to fill out digitally beforehand in order to get your room access code. FYI.

Worth recommend
The hotel is right by the road. Although it's very convenient, the noise from the road at night still has some impact on rest. Although the hotel is not managed by anyone, everything is in good order. If there's a problem, the customer service will respond promptly.

Check-in process was very smooth and instructions were clear. Frontdesk was very helpful. The property is close to public lake beach across the street (the beach has very limited sand). Room is clean with refrig, coffee machine and meal plates.

Such a great place to stay! Loved every minute of it and the views of the lake were heaven unearth! And the people that run the place are just so kind caring and hospitable! One of the locals told me it was the best place in town to stay. And she always put some up there when her family visits.

I absolutely love the value, ease of checking in, location, parking, cleanliness, and room size. For the money, this place can't be beat.
