It was very unique to have fire pits setting around the center of the motel. Nice little tables to sit outside your room. Also outdoor items to use. Rooms where clean and cozy. Front desk staff and friendly.

There is a center location that all rooms face that has a small fire pit, grill, corn hole, surry bikes, pic nic tables, pool, all ages table games, free breakfast items, & optional lunch & new bar. There is a gas station a very short distant from the Inn. The staff is very very friendly. You won't be disappointed!

Great place to stay for the price
Have to say I take issue with some of the negative reviews, this place offers so much more than many other standard hotels. It’s a great place for a family on a budget. They provide lots of games and in the front office just about every board game available. Outside, you have a nice pool and the ability to have a campfire and they also provide the wood! There’s also barbecues and games in those areas. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a place provide Wood for campfires. Just about anywhere you go in this small area there are Games for entertainment. In fact, my wife and I played checkers for the first time in many years. Moreover, this motel is very close to the lake and many of the attractions that are in the area. Yes, this is an older motel that has been renovated, but it is clean and it looks nice. The only negative thing that I have to say is the breakfast that you get in the morning is just carbs. There’s no option for eggs, but that was fine with us. We had our coffee and we went somewhere else for breakfast. I still feel that, this is an excellent place to stay and on top of that they do have some pedal buggies that you can rent. My wife and I love this place and would absolutely return on our next visit.

I loved how clean and big the room was. The room smelled like cedar wood. It was refreshing NOT to smell a mildewy room. I enjoyed the pool and the fire pit area. The location was ideal. I was dissapointed I couldn't watch local tv channels for the price we paid though.

Ok
Ok place to stay. Was clean. Bed was comfortable. Shower was hot. Property was nice. Thought it was a little expensive for what I got. Hotel is old, but pretty well kept. Breakfast was all bread/carb (waffles, donut holes, toast, min-muffins, cereal, mini bagels). Overall ok and cheaper than other options in Okoboji - but I wouldn't go out of my way to stay there again.
