Nice spot on the lake

My start was great! The room was clean enough (someone left Taco Bell in the fridge). The fridge was large and cold. There was a microwave as well. A table to work at and a table to eat at (chairs for both). Right on the lake was a big plus! A lot of folks hanging out in the parking lot. Don’t bother me none but it may bother others!

They start was perfect! I just needed a place to rest before I hit the road again. The covers had burn marks as did the drapes. I’m sure this is do to the tweakers hanging out and smoking. They were nice enough tho and didn’t bother me. The room was comfy in spite of the decor being older. It wasn’t like I was moving in. The pool was open and the view of the lake was right behind it. Very nice indeed!
