Clayton Rice Lake Hotels

"Yes"

"I’ll start by saying the staff member was fine. She accommodated us when we had to change rooms after check-in. Our first room had flooring that was coming up. It had a toilet that wouldn’t flush. The doors were in bad shape. The walls were in bad shape. The grout was dirty, stained, and coming off in several places. Out second room was better but still not in great shape. This hotel badly needs an upgrade. "

"Great staff"

"Everything was perfect what we were looking for!"

"Safe and easy parking. Very friendly staff. Nice lobby/breakfast area. Well designed rooms. We really liked the microwave and fridge being in a built in area by the door instead of in the furniture. "

"This is a really run-down, low-quality motel. SKIP IT! DANGEROUS (maybe even illegal) items: Water is scaldingly hot. The single-handle control in shower is broken, spins 360 degrees, so it's VERY difficult to avoid being burned. My wife burned her face before we knew it was broken. There are NO smoke alarms in room. No grab bars ANYWHERE in bathroom/shower. The step down outside the door is almost a foot high, with no hand-hold. Very dangerous if you're not exceedingly careful. Needs another intermediate step outside door. Deadbolt lock inop/damaged. Useless NO ONE is on-site. No phone in rooms. Calling motel number gets only a voicemail, and a text with partial answer to questions "sometime" later. Non-Dangerous Items/Convenience: Needs: Another small waste container bathroom Extra bath mat for multi-day stay Mat in front of sink As I said, there is no one on site, and they don't send instructions for checkin until "just before check-in". The basic instructions, including WHEN to expect the details, should be sent with reservation confirmation. Very basic "Nice-to-have:" There are almost NO amenities: Only the tiniest sliver of soap for 3 days, no shampoo. No Kleenex. Curtains don't cover windows. No chair/desk anywhere, or luggage racks. Just an extremely flimsy round bedside table. No place to put suitcases. No garment hooks in bathroom for clothes. Some of these would be very inexpensive to address. In any case, we will NOT be staying there again."

"Nice"

"This was my second time staying at the Golden Retreat with my girlfriends and it was just as wonderful as the last time we stayed. We spent 4 nights here to celebrate a long Galentine's weekend. This house is the perfect little cozy cottage to gather with loved ones and take a break from reality. The views of the icy lake were great and Kristi is always VERY responsive to messages. We've stayed here twice in February but hope to book it again in the spring/summer to enjoy some outdoor time on the lake. Thank you again for your hospitality and attention to detail 3"

"Great communication and beautiful place. "
