I was really excited about staying at this property. They promised a Lakeview and free breakfast. The Lakeview was looking at a large dumpster. And on our first day there they said breakfast would come out at 8 AM and it wasn’t ready so my family started their day hungry. I often choose places with breakfast There was also construction debris around the property. The rooms were beautiful and clean was very soft beds, which is why I gave it a three star rating. They also didn’t give us enough towels, soap or toilet paper. When I asked for them, it took me going down there two times to get them

The manager took apart my bathroom sink to retrieve an earring that I dropped down there and refused the tip I offered him as a sign of my appreciation! Couldn't be more impressed!

Ice was not properly removed. Wife and others fell on black ice. Stair wells to second floor were not cleared. Checking in after hours was inconvenient for hotel's management. They call wife and asked when are you getting here, then abruptly hung up..😳. Overall will not stay again, unless thy offer a partial credit. And do better.

clean and convenient place. Lot’s of parking space, nearby a lake with beautiful view. Service desk is very friendly and helpful. No breakfast though, only self made coffee available.. No hair-dry or cups for teeth brushing in Bath room. Anyway, good place for saving cost for just a good sleep during travel.

Nice, but small

Room was a lot smaller than we expected but it had everything we needed for a quick night away. It was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We didn’t take advantage of the coffee and breakfast but it looked nice. Overall a pretty good value for the price.

Pictures were deceiving to the size of the room but it was still comfortable. The bathroom was small and the shower was dark but everything was very clean. TV only has cable but it was fun to go old school lol. Small linen but still functional. Inn keepers didn’t bother us unless asked for service.

The guy That runs the place was pleasant when we arrived. We did not have essentials we needed hardly any toilet paper was on the rolls and not any extra in the rooms. Not enough towels in rooms as well. We had 3 other families with us as well in different rooms and the same problems. We called front desk to have more brought to us and They sent to wrong rooms. 1 other family that was with us had no heat working and It kept tripping Everytime turned on. The guy that was working the front desk had rest of family members living in other rooms not sure if they owned it or what the situation was. They had to move Families out of rooms to accommodate the family that was with us to give them a room with heat throughout the very cold night, and The guy that ran it said I will have to move my family out of room and give you that room without even going to clean it.

This inn has very little charm. It is rather run-down, and overall cleanliness is an issue. I’m glad I booked it for only one day, as staying longer would have been a hassle. The picture on Expedia is misleading, showing the inn by the lake when, in fact, it is separated from the lake by the very busy Route 3. The manager was very nice and helpful, providing me with a roll of toilet paper (which was missing from the room) and a clean bedsheet.

We thought the price was good. The rooms were very small. I needed a ADA room, but all they did was give us a first floor room. There were no bars in the shower, We stayed for three nights but did not get our room cleaned even once. We were constantly short of towels, toilet paper and soap. Our room seemed to be in mid-construction, as it was not completely clean, and we found the shower curtain and rod had fallen into the tub.
