Nice size room with a great view of the lake. Clean and comfortable bed. The breakfast was pedestrian and feel of the building was comfortable with seating on the lake side. Great place for walks with trails around the lake and ice cream across the street. Second time we have stayed here and would come back.

TERRY

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Rooms are small and without amenities. Not comfortable..poor seating options inside the tight room. Bathroom is way too small and did not like the sink located outside the bathroom. Felt more like a dormitory than actual "Inn" and felt truly like it was 'off season'. Very out dated room decor and sheets were a wrinkled mess even before sleeping. Not enough hangers. air conditioning was inconsistent temperature control. Windows were dirty and sad not to have clear vision to enjoy the lake view. the Inn entrance porte couchere is ridiculously large and dark (not inviting at all) theres limited parking. The large ''gathering" room seemed lovely .... the dining area is very utilitarian and cafeteria like. lacking ambience. .... fine for conventions but not what I would call an Inn. I think I misjudged or this is misrepresented in its ad outreach. the lake was lovely.

The pool was about a mile away and charged $30 for three people, plus $3 to rent towels 🙄 TV went out ant 7:30pm and instead of replacing it they wanted us to pack up and move at 9:30pm. It was a nice hotel otherwise but these things dampened our spirts.
