The room was nice but a little small and drafty. The family was really cool though, once you got got to know them. For the price you really couldnt complain. It averaged about 90$ a night, waffles, cereal, fruit and yogurts for breakfast, coffee, ice and microwave by the office. Really nice on the deck in the morning to have coffee in the sun, especially on those chilly autumn mornings.

I'm in construction. With a background in facility's maintenance. I notice things that people without my background, or unless your a lodging snob, wouldn't notice. So i see why it's 2 star on Google. - That said. We were happy. Quiet. Nice view. Quaint old building. Just be aware, narrow halls, and stairs. Very reasonably priced. The bed was oddly comfortable. No bizarre smells and stains. reasonably clean. - Bonus, waffle maker fer breakfast.made the old lady happy. we get round to just getting away, wouldn't be a bad spot to spend a few nights.

The room was clean. The property was centrally located and very affordable. I stayed during the off-season and the entire place to myself. The hotel offers beautiful views of Winnisquam Lake. It was great to watch the sunrise over the mountains in the morning.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
whole facility is neglected and only fills rooms because it is across the road from a lake in a popular resort area. The road is a very busy state route and noisy. The room had no closet/hanging place, no chair, no glass or cup for drinking. The towels were skimpy and everthing felt dirty and old. I will never return and will advise anyone I know to avoid this property.was so disgusted, I claimed illness and left a day early barely stopping to inform whoever was on duty that I felt sick and had to leave.I didn't asky for a refund knowing it wouldn't happen anyway. I just wanted to get out of there!

I had to go buy towels and a hair dryer. The towels provide were not acceptable. Small and dingy. No hair dryer provided and had to go ask for toilet paper since was only given bare a half of a roll for two nights. The breakfast provided was just ok. The place had a beautiful view and was close to where we needed to be.
