Beautiful setting

We just spent 2 nights at the Inn on Long Lake. We loved the lake view from the patio. The patio door did not open but the weather was not warm enough for that anyway My only complaint is that the upper cabinets were too high for me to reach but fortunately my friend is tall. Beautiful setting and lovely and clean room I hope to stay again in warm weather

Lovely inn with a view.

I spent a great week here in spite of dreary weather - every room has a view, and it's peaceful. Breakfast was pretty good, if repetitive (the same frozen omelet and bread choices every day; fruit but no juice). The beds are extremely comfortable. The spa (jet tub and sauna) is really nice.

Older hotel with updated rooms. View from all rooms of a beautiful lake. We didn’t try the pool, hot tub, or sauna. Elevator floor could use new flooring. Free breakfast is underwhelming but all in all a good hotel for a modest price.

Ok but small changes could make it great

The location was beautiful and we loved having the lake right outside. The staff were friendly but our room was never cleaned unless I asked for it to be. Sheets weren’t changed, garbage wasn’t removed daily, beds weren’t made. One of the exterior doors was broken and you could access guest rooms and fully bypass the front counter which made me very nervous travelling with children. Finally the gym doesn’t open until 8am making it very difficult to get a morning workout in before starting your day.
