Our hotel room was very dirty. Finger prints on the windows, stained bedsheets, and to top it off there was used woman sanitary products under the sink. The manager was quickly informed and even though he was very kind, no type of refund or incentive was offered. We will not be coming back.

The location of the inn is absolutely gorgeous right across from the lake. Besides that, the room was not super clean and we had an issue with spiders in our room. The front door didn’t lock correctly. We stayed for 2 days and no one ever came to give us fresh towels or check in to clean. It wasn’t completely terrible but I doubt I’d stay there again with so many other options close by.

Tired rooms

Their linen service had stains on one pillowcase and stains on the bedspread. No shower curtain, so we didn’t bother since it was just one night. The staff was great and accommodating it these rooms are tired. It was a big room with plenty of space and the bed was surprisingly better than expected after everything else we saw.

The room was mediocre at best. Bathroom door wouldn't open all the way. There was an actual plastic chair in the shower! In front of our room on the ground was kids Pokemon cards and broken rubber gloves that were there for our whole stay. The lady a couple of doors up said that the shower faucet handle fell off in her hand when she tried to turn the shower on. Advertised as waterfront, which isn't a lie except that the water is across a VERY busy road.

Tiny and basic. This room had a double bed, TV, antique microwave, and 1 lamp. The bathroom had a walk in shower, but no door or curtain so water would go everywhere if you used it. Highly doubt we will stay there again.

Great location. It was clean and quiet. The door locked but the deadbolt didn’t throw. There was no light in the kitchenette area. The only reason we had to use that area was because the bathroom sink had no counter space. The kitchenette sink and the bathroom tub leaked. The tub drained slow partly because the drain stopper was broken and the drain was clogged. The bathroom fan sounded like an outboard motor. The tv was I don’t know what and the channels stumbled through their paces before announcing that the mystery channel wasn’t available. But it was clean and quiet.

Check in was good, and staff was friendly. There’s a number to call if you’re not there at 3p check-in time. We got a good nights sleep, no kids until the morning. There’s a decent sized tv in the room, cable tv and internet. No place to sit except to watch it on the bed. Bathroom small, but nice, upgraded. The next day- for breakfast, you need to get there early. Opens I believe at 7a and I got there at 8a- which was too late. Water for Keurig was gone, I brought my own. Creamer was gone. Trash overfilled. You could make your own waffles, but it didn’t work. There were a couple of yogurts and juices. Gone. So we went out for breakfast at a diner down the road, very busy, but worth the wait. They didn’t plan on refilling anything, even though they walked past several times. Overall it was just ok.

I feel duped. Pictures on Expedia DO NOT accurately represent this property. The picture of the loungers overlooking the lake made it appear that the property was right on the lake with maybe a beach. It’s not. It’s across the street from the lake, and there are no loungers. Only dirty old chairs covered with bugs. The outside of the hotel was in disrepair. The wooden stairs and outside walkways felt rickety and unsafe. I worried that I might fall through. Bugs were everywhere, which I realize is out of their control, but they could’ve at least swept or power washed the dead ones caked onto the balconies, walkways, and doors to the rooms. Although the room was clean, the pillows were paper thin, the bath towels were thread bare and the size of a dish towel, there’s no counter space in the bathroom, and no shelves or places to set shampoo in the shower or leave your toiletries.There was something purple splattered on the bathroom wall. Toilet paper was 1 ply. Everything was cheap and bare bones. Our room was at the end of the second floor, and instead of hanging curtains over an interior window, they stuck contact paper to the window which did not filter out the bright street light outside. It was like sleeping with a bright night light on. We checked in late, but had called earlier in the day to inform them that we would be late. Upon arrival, our keys were not left in a drop box as promised. Would never stay here again.

Inside the Inn was dirty with bugs in all windows, siding not cleaned, deck needed painting and cleaning; room lacked any ambience - not pictures, towels small and one was dirty, room door was filthy (staff member did come in to clean with encouragement); lighting in bathroom was nonexistent by mirror, no shower curtain - which meant water all over the floor (It looked like they may be renovating the bathroom?) TV and bed were acceptable; breakfast area did not seem clean with limited choices, Keurig and coffee choices were good. Beach area was interesting across a very busy, busy road! Very difficult to get across, even more difficult to get back! Beach deck would cause splinters! Overall, the property and rooms need updating and general maintenance on a regular basis! Would not recommend to others.
