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.
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.

The place is old, dated and over priced for what it is.
Not one thing it was the worst experience and stay I have ever had. I kid you not my granddaughter when we first drive up sees a little jungle gym. She begs me to go over I said sure before we even get into the hotel. There are bugs everywhere. Then there are two portable fire pits. It looks like someone had tried to burn a cover of a sofa. The pieces were everywhere. I told her that we could not go back. We have not even got into our hotel room when someone is coming up to us and saying did you call for toilet paper. I said I have not even been into the room and someone comes out of their hotel that was us. We get into the hotel room and I turned to my daughter and said we cannot stay here with the girls. I walked into the bathroom bugs everywhere the floor is molded out. My granddaughter had a cold and I was worried the mold would cause her to get worse. We saw that the policy is that we can only cancel the day before we arrived. So I said ok girls get your swim suits on we are out of here. We stayed at the lake as late as we could. We went back only to sleep and even then my daughter put a chair under the knob the person that gave us the key did not sounded like he only spoke Russian. We had no idea if we were even safe. We could not turn off the airconditioning. I had a hard time sleeping because we only had a very thin top cover and sheets. We could not turn off the air. Again we stayed away all day saturday and left on sunday as soon as we got up.
Check in process was terrible. No person onsite. Incorrect instructions posted about self check in. Listed a phone number to call for checkin that no one answered.
When I arrived at the place, it was difficult for me to check it out. The bathroom has problems with the shower, the water stagnates and the shower is dirty.

They didn’t have a room they overbooked, refund my money
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.
It was horrible. No A/C. No screen on windows. No TV. No WiFi. So gross I don’t know how the are in business. We cut our trip short and left a day early because it was unbearable.
Double charged us. No AC. No staff. No clean towels available. Run down and old. Had a box fan covered in dust to use when it was hot. Would neber recommend this location to anyone
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.
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.

What you see is not what you get. This is over priced for what you get.
Broken bed, broken ceiling fan front door doesn't lock and there is no interior lock or chain as required for security. It is not up to code with any state or licensing bureaus.
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.
Room was a mess. You are charged a $45 cleaning fee, but it doesn’t seem like rooms are cleaned all that well. There was dirt everywhere, especially the bathroom. The bathroom sink was dirty. Dead bugs in the closet, and clothes from previous patrons under the bed. No hand soap in the bathroom. Listing doesn’t mention that there’s no A/C. Listing says public WiFi, there are no options.
Room not ready, couch smelled like pee with stains. Floor with stains and dirty. hair on floor, bed, in bathroom. Dead bugs. Outdated old everything, old uncomfortable beds, no AC or TV. Trash around property outside. Playground falling apart. We brought in own sleeping bags and lake towels so bad
This place shouldn’t be on Hotels.com
And certainly not for $200. That’s insane.
When you pay that much you expect a bit more and this place needs a LOT of updating.
I’d sort of expect this if the room price was $79. And of course I would not have rented a $79 room.
Needs electrical updates, new carpet, damaged/heavily used sinks, tubs. Just needs overhauled.
The amount of “differed maintenance” is huge.
Poorly maintained. Our bed was broken. We were charged extra for a supposed cleaning fee which was mentioned nowhere. There was no office to check in. I had to ask at the restaurant in the fromt where to go. They checked me in there. It was confusing because there was no sign even in the restaurant. There were broken lamps and light fixtures. No soaps or shampoos of any kind in the bathrooms. The walls were so paper thin, we could hear conversations very clearly in the next room. The people were nice but didn’t seem to have any good answers for us. I would NOT recommend this place at all. Stay away.
