"We had a wonderful one year anniversary trip and the hotel has helpful with adding our tickets to tours and attractions. The only thing I would suggest is that they maintain the lines in the parking lot when possible. Parking was tight at times with others probably not knowing where the lines were either"

"One thing that would make it a little better is if it had a microwave in room"

"The hotel was in a great location & we loved being right on the beach. The bedding & towels were clean but the rest of the room wasnt as clean- the walls were noticeably dirty & the shower faucets didnt look very clean. That said, for the price & location, it was a good deal & we enjoyed our stay. The pool was cloudy but you can swim in the lake. The employee in the front office was super friendly & helpful."

"Room was clean, bed was good, close to everything like restaurants, the water, shops. Did not like the breakfast ordeal of walking to the next door hotel to eat breakfast with so many people and the lines. The buffet is not set up very well. Drinks should be in another location like even at the end of the line. People had to break through the line to get their drinks. If it had been raining I wouldnt be happy to walk next door. Thank goodness it wasnt. In all my travels never had to go to another hotel to eat."

"We paid the higher fee for views of the water. It was lovely and worth it. The sound alone was soothing. A bit chilly to keep the door open all night but we enjoyed sitting on the patio."

"Room was beautiful and the view from the balcony was fantastic. Downside, the electrical was wonky and had too many light switches to turn on to get a light to work. Never did figure out the bathroom light or get the TV to turn on."
August 2025
"In a pinch I would stay there. The rooms are truly outdated, and had an oder. The frayed bath mat that probably hasn\'t been removed for cleaning deterred us from showering. Maybe if shoes were worn. Dark and depressing, could only be in the room to sleep. But then again, beds were not comfortable could feel the springs. For the money they are raking in, you think they could update, removing carpet and replace the \'90s bedspreads, perhaps a lamp or power strip with USB charging capabilities."

We were lucky that night as they were a little North of us for the night.The Manager Zackary was very nice.

"The hotel was fine but the most extraordinary thing was the lady on the reception. She was a great human being and helped me and my family immensely, in every way she could. Unfortunately doesn\'t her name but wanted to give a very big shout out for something specifically that she did for us. The room that I booked in this hotel was having just a queen bed which was a mistake to book and which understandably couldn\'t accommodate all my family (five persons, two adults and 3 kids). When I went inside and noticed how small it was I went back to her and informed that I didn\'t realize that the room would be so small for which she replied that she herself was surprised why I chose such a small room. I explained that it was my mistake and I didn\'t pay too much attention while I was making reservation. That nice lady without asking me upgraded to a bigger room and made this whole experience so awesome. Thanks to her."
August 2025
"Motel was fairly clean. Beds were decently comfortable. Bathroom was spotless which was a huge bonus. Only complaint was it was slightly musty which is to be expected as Im sure theyre shut down for a majority of the year due to winter. But overall it was pretty good. However, there is access to the 2 water parks in the town and I DO NOT recommend either one. Went to check out both and they are both not only dated but the water at both was cloudy and dingy looking. You could not see your feet if you were brave enough to go in the water. The emerald cove one said it had waterslides which it did but they were blocked off and the pool beneath them was empty and gross looking. Also the lazy river was also cloudy and yellowish brown looking. I wouldnt let my child in either one especially since I wouldnt venture into either one as well. Mind you, we stayed the first weekend in August so you should think that they would be up to date and busy."

"We were looking for a place to sleep. Not hang out in the room. It fit our needs perfectly. They are obviously remodeling and have not finished. At this point it just needs the finishing touches. Mirror in the bathroom & some shelves in there. Will definitely stay again!"

"I sought a clean room with basic amenities (mini cool and microwave and quiet surroundings), and I received them. The location is excellent for Mac. City attractions. The interior (blond knotty pine) and the red and white bed linens looked new. Comfortable mattress. Some bathroom tiles need grout, and some exterior items (roof soffits) and outdoor benches need paint."

"We were not able to stay at the Welcome Inn, but were moved to a room at the Days Inn. The staff at the Days Inn were friendly and helpful and the room was comfortable. Thank you for making sure that we had a room for the night."

"Clean Quiet Close cheap"

"Pool House/Pool are bad. Doors to the pool house we couldnt get open. Ton of construction - not their fault, difficult to navigate accessing the property, property wasnt forecoming amenities information. Reactive to maintenance issues. For the price the facility/room it was fine. Now Location on the water was a dream. And I was able to just block out everything else and watch the sunset!"
