Reviewed By Dennis M

This hotel is an older but well built place (concrete block/brick walls; concrete slab floors/ceilings) so is very quiet. Despite its age, is well kept, modern and convenient. We stayed here the weekend of Memorial Day and it was full! All desk staff were courteous, Adam the maintenance man responded politely when I referred a caulking issue to him. Bed was comfy and we slept well. Room smelled fresh and was very clean. Breakfast was complete with usuals; pancake machine, scrambled eggs, sausages, hash-brown minis. biscuits and gravy, toast and sweet rolls, dry cereals and juices, brewed individually coffee. We did not use the pool but it looked fine. Very nice stay, handy location. NO lunatic over-reactions to Covid, so that was a relief.

It’s getting older, but I’ve stayed here a couple times and have very satisfied. No pool, small breakfast in the morning. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff has always been about as nice as it can get. It’s just off the interstate, so if you’re looking for the lake you’re gonna have a little driving (5 minutes). There’s plenty of food options around it.

I stayed here for a night while doing a cross country move. This is a new hotel. The bed and shower were great. I was able to request a room overlooking my trailer like I requested. However there was a wedding party that day so rooms facing the front of the hotel were limited. breakfast was ok. bed and shower were great. I would return to this hotel.

I was wary of a small town tourist hotel. I was wrong! The hotel was super cute, it was clean, the gathering area on the patio let our 2 rooms of visitors mingle & the views, oh they were so great. I had never been to Clear Lake before, I had a great time. I want to come back soon & I can't imagine that there is a better place to stay.

Room had really bad odor, filters in ac gross, brought to front desk for cleaning, had a bounty sheet in with the filter that was black. No couch, lot of dead space in room. The other room had a couch and another table. Chair in room was gross, stains, cuts... Told it was a pet room and must have booked last minute. Booked over 90 days out.

Excellent Rooms and Service

I had a great stay the people are nice and the rooms are clean and newly remodelled. They have fridges in them, laundry on sight and a pub on sight. Overall had a very good stay. The only down side was that the wifi didn't work when i was there due to a storm, but i don't blame the management. If ever back in Clear Lake i will go back.
