There was an alarm clock that had multiple different charging cables in it. Very clean bathroom and the wood floors were nice versus carpet. 10/10 I would stay here again. My only complaints are very minimal... (I hope my complainants don't discourage people from staying here. It's a GREAT little motel. We were just passing through but I wish we could have stayed longer) The heat is set at 68° and then you can turn on the baseboard heaters if you're cold. My husband and I like it chilly at night so 68° felt very warm. Luckily they had a box fan in the corner so that was very helpful. My other complaint is the soap and shampoo and condition felt cheap and didn't smell very goos. I wish a motel as cute as this one would upgrade to a nicer recognizable brand.

I cannot comment on the tiki hut or the breakfast, as we got there late and left early the next morning. But the woman (I wish I knew her name) who checked us in was so warm and welcoming, and the rooms were just perfect. All the little details you typically get at a high end hotel - slippers, robes, nice soaps. And the bed and linens were very comfortable. I would stay there again anytime I was in the area.

Kathy the owner/host, is one of the most charming, hardworking and fantastic cooks we've ever have had the chance to meet. The inn is SPOTLESSLY maintained, cleanest room I believe I have stayed at including all the Hiltons and high end resorts. Every morning at 9:00 a home cooked (by Kathy) breakfast is delivered to the room which was an unexpected treat. The onsite Tiki Bar and it's fabulous staff takes care of anything else you might need. It is a 21+ destination which was a plus for us. Thank you Kathy for a wonderful (extended) weekend! You made a beautiful home for all your guests to enjoy Hopefully we'll see you down the road, enjoy your bucket list Frank and Diane Brennan

Having travelled for work quite a bit…read moreover the years and experienced different brands, I've been very happy with the Hilton brand for decades. I find Tru to be a lively refinement of the traditional hotel experience. The color scheme of the lobby sets Try apart from other Hilton brands. Fifteen years ago, I enjoyed the minimalist theme of Four Points by Sheridan, but today I feel Tru by Hilton is more energetic, sophisticated, and more on point for me. While I think Tru was intended for young travelers, I feel Tru suites me in my early 60s. I very much liked the complimentary breakfast better than what is served at a Hampton Inn. I liked the pancake machine over the waffle maker. The Lavazza coffee was a welcome feature too. The rooms are a bit smaller, but still comfortably fit a king-sized bed. There is a small refrigerator, but no microwave. Exposed rods, pipes, and pegs replaced dressers and armoires. The shower was full glass with TWO glass corner shelves, so for a change I didn't have to store my toiletries on the floor or bend over to pick up them up. If you need a microwave, there's one in the lobby at the snack counter. The rooms and lobby were CLEAN. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

It was also nice because it allowed us to collect our Hilton honors points. The hotel feels very new and clean and modern. Our room was of a very good size. The beds were comfortable. The complementary breakfast was pretty good. My child and I really enjoyed the pancakes, especially. The only reason I give it four stars instead of five is because we did not receive any housekeeping services during our stay of two nights. Overall it was a great place to stay.

Sure, it's bare bones ( shared bathrooms and sometimes saggy mattresses) but the price is reasonable, its clean and big and a super comfortable place for our 60+ family members to hang out and reconnect. The lake is lovely and the dock and beach are the only things we need to entertain us on a warm summer day. The kids like the rowboats and trips to the store for candy. One recent big negative is that the lodge staff can no longer cook and serve meals. The Silver Dollar restaurant is a short walk away, but it's just not the same as being served breakfast (or dinner) on site.

Our first visit on 4/12/25 ended with an ant infestation in Room 101. We reported it to the staff, didn't ask for a refund, and chose to give the resort another chance because our kids really enjoyed the Waterpark. We stayed again on 5/17/25, this time in Room 315. At 6 a.m. the next morning, I woke up to a bed bug crawling on my leg. I immediately brought it to the front desk in a tissue. The staff apologized and said a manager would be contacted and that we would be refunded for the room. I packed up our things right away and checked out early. At checkout, however, I was suddenly told to "watch my email for a discount," despite having just been promised a full refund. Nobody at the front desk could tell me when a manager would actually be available, and as of writing this, I've received no follow-up and no refund. Now I'm at home panic-washing everything, terrified we may have brought bed bugs back with us. This experience was not just disappointing--it was unacceptable. I strongly urge anyone considering a stay here to think twice, especially if management can't be counted on to respond to serious issues like this.

At the time we thought it was a tick so we were not super worried. Woke up the next day with large itchy bites on both of us. Next night I woke up in the middle of the night scratching myself. The morning light showed that I was covered in bites. So itchy and uncomfortable!! It was not until later that we discovered it was actually a bed bug instead of tick. If we had known we would have moved rooms or found a different hotel. Be careful if you stay here because chances are you'll be eaten alive by bed bugs!! -UPDATE- After contacting the manager about the situation, I'm even more frustrated with this place. They said because they did not see any bed bugs in the room, that they must not have them. They refuse to refund the room! They refuse to take any responsibility. Shameful. Really upset about this and will continue to update as this unfolds because I'm not letting this go when this 2 night visit has not only traumatized me but caused me enormous financial burden between treating my home, new luggage, a doctors visit, and more!!
