    Charming Route 66 motel with good location

    The breakfast host was very nice.

    Nothing.

    This is definitely retro and quaint. It’s a shame the room was so smoky.

    The lady at the front desk was very nice and is a good ambassador for the town. The bed was comfortable and the water pressure was good. We enjoyed the vintage 66 decor.

    It was impossible to enjoy the stay because the room smelled so strongly of smoke. We sprayed so much Lysol to make it through the night. I had a headache by nightfall.

    Perfekter Aufenthalt

    Wir waren zum dritten Mal dort und es hat uns wieder super gefallen. Toller Gastgeber saubere Zimmer bequeme Betten und eine super Lage direkt am See. Kurzer Fahrtweg zu diversen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Leckeres Frühstück.

    Wie immer alles super.

    Nice location near Kellogg Lake, quiet. Staff was great, gave us great tips on food and places. Never heard of Red Oak II, but we do now thanks to her.
