Small cozy room. Very clean. Front desk personnel were very friendly. Rite on the lake. Thinner walls, but not terribly loud.

It's a good place to stay
This is a good hotel. It's a bit dated, but you can tell that they are updating the things that matter. The room was very clean, had no smells, which is great, and was toasty warm. The rules for having my dog with me in the room were fair and I believe they made the hotel a nicer place to stay. It was an easy walk to the main street of Washburn and we could easily explore on foot from the hotel. We were warmly welcomed and I would stay here again. The photos of the rooms shown online are accurate.

The room and hotel is dated and needs some updates. Room is small, beds too high and very uncomfortable. Not worth the price.

East parking. Some of the staff were nice and helpful, but some of them (Gen Z) were not helpful. The TV didn’t really work properly which was very frustrating and the staff were no help. They have smart TVs but no remotes for them.

Unfortunately this property is very outdated. The beds squeaked so badly I was up all night everytime someone moved the slightest. The bathroom shower had mold ALL over. No amenities like breakfast or a pool. We paid way more for this room than it’s worth but there are limited options in the area. It’s been years since I have written such a poor review but this place needs a total facelift.

Large rooms
A little dated, but the rooms were large and clean. No recycle bins. No breakfast available on the property; just coffee only. No microwave in the rooms; just a small one in the hotel lobby. Scenic views of the lake and marina. Appeared to be the nicest hotel in Washburn.
