We loved our stay! It is such a quaint, picturesque and amazing food with room service and great staff We had such a bad night on our first night, and I was in tears as the bed was very uncomfortable for my arthritis. Without hesitation, they moved us to a better room with a better bed, which made all the difference for us. I would recommend Inn on the Lake for anyone wanting an authentic east coast stay. This place cares about their customers and it was a very memorable stay for us. Thank you Inn on the Lake SO MUCH!!

This is a lovely hotel, built in bits and pieces over the years. It functions well, but really could use some paint, and maintenance. It’s quiet,the grounds are like a park.

Great spot to stay near airport

The Inn on the Lake is a lovely establishment. Staff are incredibly helpful and kind. Rooms were somewhat outdated but kind of fits the style of the building and had everything you need. It was clean and comfortable enough. It's right on the lake so you can spend some time by the water relaxing, and we enjoyed a dinner at the gastropub on site.

Sadly, the outdoor areas of this property are in disrepair. I chose to stay at the property because the pictures on the internet were lovely, but they must have been taken years ago when this property was freshly remodeled. During our stay in June, the tennis courts were locked up and had seen better days. In the pictures online, they look beautiful, and we were disappointed not to be able to hit some balls. We were told that they will be renovated soon. The beach area was unkempt and uninviting. The gazebo and beach patio areas need a fresh coat of paint, and there are no chairs to sit on. The pool was filled with dirty debris so we stayed away. We were very disappointed with the rundown property. However, the staff was friendly and WONDERFUL!! They helped with our room dilemma, and our room was nice and clean! :) Thank you.

The property has a great deal of potential. However, it is outdated and requires some maintenance. There was no dairy alternative for coffee and limited menu options. It was fine, but I didn’t feel it was good value for the price

Lovely staff Our room was loud - heating, pipes, empty fridge. All woke me many times. Pillows were hard ended up folding a towel to sleep on. Poor experience in the restaurant but wonderful service. Went for a walk down to the water in the morning and had to plug my nose going down and back up. We were downwind from “something”
