Detailed Reviews
The hoyel is conveniently located near I-40. The rooms were a little dated, but so clean and welcoming. The owners were onsite and very nice. They serve a basic continental breakfast. We will definitely be stopping here on our next trip through Tennessee. They even allow pets.

This inn was easy to find. After a long journey this was a bonus. Owners very welcoming and friendly. Room only had a microwave and fridge so I borrowed 2 cups to make tea! Good information from owners about best eateries. Everything within easy walking distance. We used the Mei Wei Chinese, great food, portion sizes too big for us Brits!

A simple comfortable family run motel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The area is pretty with a view of the lake, but there isn't really anywhere to walk around. I crossed the main road to sit by the lake, which was nice.
The breakfast was disappointing, only sugary cereals and hostess Twinkies.

I booked a room here for a week, this place is disgusting, dirt, bugs, absolutely no service of any kind, the beds dont get made, the trash cans are not emptied, you get 2 towels and a washcloth and thats it, your not getting any more. There is no free breakfast of any kind, the whole parking lot reeks of urine. The lakeview is a glimpse of water across a 4 lane highway. It was so bad I left 2 days early, I didnt ask for a refund but when i left there was no one in the office so i left the key in the drop, the owner knew I was leaving, when i came back for my 10 dollar key deposit, he wouldnt give it back, what a dirt bag, stay away from this place at all costs, there are better rooms for same price in kingston and harriman

On another site I read that the hotel was within walking distance to everything that the reviewer needed — apparently, all they needed was booze and Mexican food. All that was within walking distance was bar, a small restaurant and a liquor store that closed at 10 p.m. We would have been able to make it there by 10 had the clerk spoken any English, after waiting for her to call someone to come to the office and check us in, it was too late, they had just closed.
The room smelled very musty, what was supposed to be white towels were gray, and cigarette burns in the sheets, blanket and comforter. Overall it was not well cleaned, and the furniture is old and worn. The only amenities were two small bars of soap — there wasn't even a box of tissues. I could overlook the lack of amenities if it had at least been clean.

Stayed at the Lakeview Inn 1 night. While my bathroom was being renovated. Didn't show up till 1130 that night and was up and getting out at 10 the next morning. This was just a place to sleep for the night and nothing else. Well when went to return the key the owner had to go check the room and come back and said that we had stole towels from the room. He would not give the deposit back. We never even used any of the towels and wasn't really even in the room long enough. But why take a towel instead of the TV. Then the housekeeper that has known me for years told the owner that she didn't even know who I was. The people at this place are very rude and have very bad attitudes. I will never be back to this place again. I will go pay 200 dollars a night for a room before going back here. And hope anyone/everyone else sees this and keeps for going here to have the bad experience that we and my partner have had.

Had to pay $20.00 deposit for the motel key and no coffee in our room or bath soaps PLUS no complimentary breakfast offered to boot!
Don't GO THERE!!!! Very disappointed in the discourteous manner of the owner also. Not friendly at all!!!

My wife and I are always on the lookout for a reasonably priced place to stop over on our trips from Oklahoma to New England. I was pleased with the price and condition of the room. Have stayed in many for more that were not this clean. For me this was a good stop not requiring all the big amenities, huge breakfast etc. Sure I'll stop there gain.

This is an overpriced dump. We were charged $65.73 for the king-size, non smoking room, that was supposed to be AARP rate. I thought we were overcharged.After we checked in, I went back and questioned the clerk to see if we got the AARP rate, and I could tell by the expression on her back that something was wrong, but she checked with the owner, and he told her that we had received the AARP rate.
I called back later in the week to check the price, and was told their king-size, non smoking room would be $45.00 plus tax, which the total amount should be $53.78. The place was a dump. Someone else made the reservation for us, when they made reservations for themselves. I will never stay there again.
The continental breakfast consisted of coffee, orange juice (which was not orange juice, but probably Tang), a banana, two different sweet rolls. When we went to get ours, there was only two of each item there. I guess they did not want my husband and me to get more than one item each.
We stayed at a Jameson Inn in another town the night before, and paid less for the room, and the difference in the two rooms was like night and day. The continental breakfast at Jameson Inn was excellent.

THE GOOD: This is an older motel that has been refurbished sometime ago and is showing some wear. Room was standard size with Ref/MV, 2 chairs and desk. Room was relative clean with some soil in the corners of the bath. Electric plugs conveniently located for charging. Bed was comfortable.
THE BAD: Room had no clock, toilet ran all night, sink drained poorly, no luggage rack. Breakfast was disappointing with offerings consisting of one pot of coffee, one type of juice, prepackaged sweet rolls, and dry cereal only.
