I loved that it was right next to the lake. But our room was clean and they had decent beds. I also appreciated a big size fridge to put all our stuff in for the night since i had a cooler with. I would love to stay there again.

The lady that checked us in told us that she was giving us a newly remodeled room and that it was very clean. This couldn't be further from the truth. The room was VERY musty. There were several imperfections in and outside the room, including BED BUGS!! I have bites all over my body

We needed a stopping off point on our way to Grand Forks North Dakota. The rooms were a little dated but very clean and comfortable. Would recommend this to anyone needing a quick comfortable place to stay overnite

The rooms had a nice rustic feel and were spacious. The beds were very comfortable. It is not very often that you get a full size refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot and a cook top in the room. We very much enjoyed our stay.
