Room was clean ..new TV..furniture maybe a bit dated but in decent shape..there was an old mattress and some furniture by the outside stairs. Odd thing was no trash can in the room! Service was great though and friendly! Close to restaurants. Be aware its a 2 story building and there is no elevator!

The people who run this place seem very nice, but the property itself is the textbook definition of a "basic motel." You park right outside your room, which is good, but the room is spartan. No coffee in the room. No toiletries. And, in the case of my room, a light switch in the bathroom vanity area that had to be toggled just right to come on and a smoke alarm that began beeping every 45 seconds or so. Staff eventually (after two requests) came to the room and removed the battery. But it began beeping again the following morning.

Old motel that needs more upgrades. Heating/AC not working properly. No on site management to resolve issues. Housekeeping staff overworked, not able to get all rooms cleaned daily.

This place was disgusting. The room had a peculiar odor and the bedding was stained. The tv was broken. There were no light bulbs in the lamps, leaving a single light for the whole room. The floor was sticky. The smoke detector had a plastic bag covering it. The room on either side was occupied by long term residents and we could hear both televisions thru the wall. My dog didn't even want to enter the room. I returned the keys and requested a refund, which i was given after asking multiple times. I later discovered that 10 minutes after I left, they charged me for the room again. I am now having to dispute the charge with my bank. I sucked it up and drove to Roanoke. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

The room I reseerved was a king bed, I was given a key to a full bed room. When I let the service desk guy know he tried to convince me that it was a king bed. The dead bolt couldn't lock and I refused to stay in a room where I couldn't lock the door. He said it would be safe because I had the only key and setting the swing gaurd would secure it. He also said that that was how dead bolts worked, that you could open them from the inside without turning the dead bolt to unlock. He moved me to a king room and went to get a key programmed for me, then returned saying the room had been booked that morning and they would be checking in later yhat afternoon. Three rooms after that with two more dead bolts that wouldn't lock I was given a queen room that would actually lock. No apology was given for not having the room I actually booked.

My 2 kids and I stayed here for 2 nights towards the end of June because we were hitting a concert at The Coves a few miles away. We felt very welcome and protected. It's an older motel with remodeled rooms. They had free coffee and snacks each morning in the lobby. We were provided with plenty towels and even some fancy lavender hand soap for the bathroom. The guys running the Inn were super nice! If we ever come back to SML, this is where we will stay! If you're looking for a cheap rate, this is the place! Thank you to Lake Inn for making our little vacay so special ✌️💖🌞
