This hotel, its staff, and Hilton Corporate are useless and horrible. The hotel has so many things…read morebroken that it should not still be operating. It also falsely advertises amenities that do not exist and 100% guarantees that are not honored. This review explains these issues, with photos and screenshots attached. Upon check-in, the room itself seemed clean and updated. Then I went into the bathroom. The shower was disgusting, with the white sealant chipped and peeling leaving black spots and mildew, and the base of the tub stained dirty. Everything else was so much worse that the shower was ultimately forgotten for photos for this review. After check-in, we moved our vehicle from the entrance to rear parking. As we went back in, we noticed that the pool was broken. This property is advertised as having a heated outdoor pool. I complained via text, and staff responded "I'm sorry due to renovations the pool is out of service until Memorial day." Staff later said that the pool is simply closed over winter until Memorial Day. Both answers are unacceptable, given that the property is advertised with a heated outdoor pool listed as an amenity - and one that we were expecting to use. A picture of the pool is attached to the review as Figure 5. Screenshots of the website for this property showing the promised amenities are attached as Figure 1 and 2. During check-in, we noticed that one elevator was completely down (see figures 6 and 7). That wasn't a concern initially, because there was still one working elevator - we thought. The second night of our stay, upon coming back to the hotel, we found the other elevator also broken. In case the property tries to claim that elevators are not guaranteed, a screenshot of the website highlighting elevators is attached as Figure 3. I again texted the front desk, and they admitted to the problem, as well as Elaina previously lying about why the pool is out of service. So, we took the stairs. This is fine once or twice, except the stairwell smelled so badly of mildew that I questioned the safety of staying in the building. When you can SMELL mold, existing in the space is unhealthy. On the third day, we thought the elevator was broken again. Pushing the button on the first floor to call the elevator did nothing. We took the rancid-smelling stairs again. It turned out that only the light on the button was broken, but given the issues from the night before where the entire elevator was broken, how would anybody know that? On the fourth day, the hot water was out. I sent another text, which went unanswered. We wanted to shower before leaving the hotel but were unable to do so. On our way out of the hotel, we stopped by the front desk to inform them and ask for compensation. At this point, staff demanded that we check out a day early and vacate the premises. As we were packing, I called Hilton customer service. 56 minutes on the phone with no help from the call center. The agent I spoke with tried to make it seem like a benefit that we weren't being charged for late checkout, but we did not checkout willingly, so this is further absurdity and absolute blame-shifting gaslighting. As we were leaving the room, we encountered people just checking in. We asked them if they had hot water and they did not. They were not notified that the hot water was out, either. The hotel still checked them in like everything was fine. I thought Hilton has brand standards - and this hotel fails many important ones. The Hilton website has several things on it for this property that are falsely advertised by Hilton directly. Aside from the "heated outdoor pool", there are two more things that are listed on the website that don't even exist: Tennis and a "Private Marina". We did not intend to play tennis, but there are no tennis courts as advertised. There is also no "Private Marina" as advertised. Again, see Figures 1 and 2. These amenities listings and "100% Hampton Guarantee" (Figure 4) that was not honored point to intentional lies by Hilton directly (due to the website as mentioned above) and the property. The fact that Hilton and the property think this amount of lying is acceptable is incomprehensible to me. I made the reservation on April 13, 2026, for a stay from April 17, 2026 through April 21, 2026. Surely, on April 13, 2026, the hotel (and Hilton directly) knew that the pool was non-operational, yet all parties chose not to update the website. One of these issues is bad enough, but all of them together are beyond unacceptable. Staff (at the hotel, and in the call center) offered nothing but hostility, excuses, and lies. This property and my call with Hilton support completely tarnish the Hilton reputation. It is over a month after my stay and the website still incorrectly advertises the non-existent amenities and 100% guarantee. The property did not offer me monetary compensation, and neither did Hilton customer service. I had to dispute the charges with my credit card company.

Wow! I was amazed!…read more We were a bit reluctant booking an Econo Lodge but their rate was good and we could take our Shihpoo Dandy. We arrived late afternoon and initially were a bit thrown off by the derelict, possibly being gutted and reconstituted, structure next door. Pay that no attention! The hotel was an excellent find, especially for the price! Lobby: clean with soft seating. Dining area: clean with multiple seating and tv. Staff: friendly and efficient. Hallways: spotless. Room: was a complete surprise. Looked newly refurbished (but hadn't been, we later discovered) Very clean! I mean, very!! I felt like cleaning up after myself when we checked out, and even did wipe off the counters, etc, out of respect to the staff. You can immediately tell the folks managing and working in this motel care about it and their guests. I used to own and operate several bed & breakfasts and I see things others may not. This place was beyond my expectations. Here are a few extra features in the room I found especially unique. Not only were there bedside, wall mounted lamps on either side of the bed, leaving completely open space on the bedside tables, but there was also a separate, pinpoint reading light. Love it as I am a late night reader. Also, mounted on the wall within the same dual light fixture were two outlets and a usb port for charging. Then, in the bathroom, the wall mounted hairdryer had a built in night light! We often travel with night lights so we don't get disoriented when navigating to the bathroom in the night. This addition was a feature I had never seen before. I wish I had taken a photo. Sorry. Refrigerator and microwave in the room were both spotless and made not a sound. Bed was very comfortable. We requested a blanket and were quickly given a comforter. Perfect. We didn't partake of the breakfast items other than grabbing a banana and clementine plus coffee. Coffee was the only thing I wasn't crazy about. We met the head of housekeeping as well as Mr. Patel, the owner, and were able to tell them personally how much we thought of their hotel. So, if you are hesitating booking this place, don't. We believe the $100 added deposit at check-in helps to insure that guests are responsible and treat the facility with care. It shows! Well done. Thanks for a very pleasant stay, Mr. Patel.

I'm not sure why the bad reviews. This is my 3rd time staying here over the last two years. This…read morehotel is right on the lake, offers spectacular views and has the best free breakfast buffet of anywhere I've stayed in awhile. This location has been recently renovated but I didn't have any issues the last time I stayed last fall. There's a bar on site that stays open late, and plenty of places to dock your boats. The location is near several restaurants you could easily walk to, and a few miles down the road are even more choices. The beds are comfy and the pool always looks inviting, though I have yet to try it out. I always get a room with the lake view. There's a busy highway in front of the hotel but the noise doesn't bother me. The only downside might be the cost. But...factoring in the location and the delicious breakfast, I don't even think that's a deal breaker. I come here when I need a break from city life. It's perfect for relaxing and reading a good book in front of the beautiful lake. Don't take my word for it...try it out for yourself!

I had to pay $10 extra to get moved to a lakeside room just so I could get some peace the road noise was so bad. Second, the place is an old, rundown motel. This is not a hotel at all but rather an old motel style place with outdoor access. This was not mentioned anywhere in the listings. You get in the rooms and the walls are dingy, you can see every drywall seam and every spot where they did paint touchups. They have dirty linoleum floors and tiny bathrooms with low ceilings. The elevator was a joke as the button for the second floor has to be pushed 20 times to get it to register and make the elevator go. Online this place look so glowing and so nice, it's all a dirty lie. Don't waste your money here, go literally anywhere else.

They also give a military discount and we would stay here again!
