The location of the property is great. The front desk staff are not transparent. Some basic things like water bottles were not available even if you wanted to pay for it..

Stayed one night at Great Lake motel. At check in the receptionist insisted we had not paid for the room yet. So we paid. Upon investigation I had paid previously. Now we had paid twice. I approached reception later she told me she would sort it out with her manager. 3 emails later with receipts attached, a phone call, no response or resolution. Extremely poor customer service and communication. The motels in a great location. This was just a very disappointing experience we had.
