The room overall was clean, but infested with spiders. The property was a little rundown and in need of repair.

The room was very outdated and needed some repairs: toilet and sink was very low to the ground, no plug for the bathtub: over all I think that the cost was way over priced for the shape of the room:

This property doesnt look that great from the outside, and I can't speak to other rooms, but our room was fabulous. Large w small kitchen area and a full sized fridge, what a treat that was. I suspect this motel is slowly renovating rooms and is also renting some on a long-term / live-in basis. I was not afraid to wander from our lakeside room up to the office area for ice, people were friendly as I walked by. The front desk manager was friendly also, as was their happy little dog. While there were no oueside chairs for relaxing in the evening sun, there is a bench across the street overlooking the lake as well as a nice fishing deck and a walkable to beach. If you want luxury, this place is not for you. But if you want a clean, comfy room, with coffee, microwave, fridge and large tv, to spend your evening in comfort and have a good sleep, then please try this motel. I agree with other comments though, the pullows could be fluffier. Oh well.

Looks nothing like the photo. Run down. Most guests appeared to be long term. Grounds dirty. Room smelled moldy. Over priced.

It was convenient but needs upgrades. There was a little mouse that showed up in the night and that was a bit unnerving. The towels were good though. Used one to put under the door to try and keep the critter at bay!

This place has the title of motel, so my expectations were low, but to my surprise the room was well put together and wonderfully clean. No question, we will stay here again

Our room was facing the water which was across the street, so technically that was the water view room. I think there were permanent residents there which made us feel a little uncomfortable. The room was tired, but the beds were comfy. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

It was a good place to stay, had all the amenities we needed and super friendly staff. The room always felt damp but i think thats from all the rain that had been recieved, it was roomy and clean, better than the pictures.

My Stay
I was traveling with my dog. My room was located on the lakeside of the property which was a nice touch. I was able to walk my dog easily to the lake and enjoy the view. The only issue I had was that my room was surounded by a crew of people that woke me up at 5:30 am with tons of slaming, banging and stomping while they were getting ready for work. This was on a Sunday morning... Other than that... I was pleased with the place.

It's just a very old motel and needs some work. The faceplates on the outlets were in bad shape, the faucet in the bathroom needs replaced, and other stuff I cannot remember now. If I would have paid $65 for the room I wouldn't complain, but I paid what the Marriott at MSP charged me for the next night. The lady at check-in was nice.

Cozy Cabin Feel
I got to the Motel about 5:30pm check in with only cash went amazingly smooth and the Front Desk gentleman was very nice and helpful. The room was cozy with a studio sized refrigerator. The room was clean and comfortable. My neighbors were not exactly people I would choose, but I didn't complain so the office was unaware. The housekeeping lady was very helpful and quick so I could get my deposit back and be on my way. I would recommend Forest Lake Motel.
