Top Carnelian Bay Hotel Reviews

Crown Motel

Crown Motel

10/10 Excellent
"Great little motel right in the lake. We enjoyed a King lakefront room. Appeared recently remodeled. Very comfortable. AC and ceiling fan available. Microwave, tea kettle and coffee/tea bags. Several restaurants are walkable. There were bbqs available to use. My only critique would be that the fire pit near our room had no “closing” time and we had loud people out front until 1am. Would just be nice if the property had quiet hours, but that wouldn’t prevent me from coming here again. Staff were very kind and even texted us when the room was ready so we could check in a bit early."
