Nice historical place to stay.
The only thing I can think to say negative is the pillows are flat. Everything else was great.

A good surprise!
We loved this space, it is definitely more camp vibes than a hotel, which kind of surprised us but as long as you dont mind that, it is a lovely place to stay. I would definitely stay here again! Their hot water is quick and lasts a long time so no worries about that if thats you least favorite part of camping like me :) it was just far enough from town and an easy, quick walk to the lake!

Was ok
I ended up leaving a day early. I came to rest and they were setting up for Oktoberfest so the noise during the day was a lot. They were dropping tent poles and yelling. Room was small, the refrigerator was small and there was no TV. I would have stayed had it not been for all the noise.

Felt like camping
Very minimal room. No TV and no air conditioner. Couldn’t open bathroom door all the way because of toilet position. Pillows were very flat, had to go buy our own for the two night stay. Check in was very easy, grounds were super clean and it smelled very clean inside. We did enjoy the store, coffee and ice cream that was right there.

8/10 Very good

We stayed here for a week. It was very fun! It is definitely more of a campsite than we thought. The rooms have no AC so that was a bummer but we stayed outside by the lake most times. The restaurant is expensive so we never ate there but they are always super busy. Also every single morning at 6:30AM the garbage trucks come and woke us up everyday. That was a bummer. But it was nice.

Great motel unit room next to beach!
The beds were very comfortable. We stayed in motel unit, small but OK for us since we weren't in there a lot. Had a small fridge. Super close to beach and restaurant, 5 min walk to a coffee shop/general store. Very affordable for such a great location. Room was a bit stuffy at night because it was August; we had window open and heard delivery trucks early in a.m. There was an adjoining room where we could both hear each other through the walls.

In order to keep air moving in and out of the room to cool it down at night, you need to leave the blinds and windows open. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of light pollution around the hotel. This includes from the street. The hotel is clean, and the water pressure is good. It’s difficult to locate staff and information from time to time. There is no bottled or filtered water provided except for lukewarm water for tea.

We stayed in the the single hotel room.It was extremely stuffy despite the provided fan. Would not recommend during hot summer days, just too hot to sleep. Room was clean, bed comfortable. Also road nose was ridiculous. Loved how close it is to the beach.

"Historic hotel" = no AC - stay on the first floor, not the second. The second floor gets lots of sun, and heat rises.

Nice property, the only downside for me was the lack of air conditioning. The rest was very good.

6/10 Good

The bad: 1. The room was not properly clean. The beds had hair, which tells me the sheets were not replaced! 2. The shower supplies were empty. I asked the front lobby for refills and they never came to refill them. 3. I asked for extra towels. Didn't happen either. 4. House keeping never came by. The good: 1. Check-in was easy. 2. It was close to the water. 3. Many hiking trails around.
