The 3 rooms we had were clean and the beds very comfortable. We stayed on the bottom floor and had a very nice porch that we could sit on. I really enjoyed having not only a view of the lake but being on the lake itself. The continental breakfast was decent. My only complaint was that there was a lot of people having breakfast at the same time so the line for pancakes took a while. The free shuttle to Sheplers Ferry was greatly appreciated. I would not only recommend this hotel but I look forward to staying there again in the future! Thank you for a lovely stay!
