Pleasant and quiet stay here. Easy in and easy out with good parking. Restaurant just steps away with views out over the marina and the lake. Tech is a bit dated and the room has no USB ports. Bring chargers if you have gadgets. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Floor boards creak like they are going to cave in. No maid service, except for single nights. No view of the lake from the rooms. Just a big asphalt parking lot. No vending machine, no laundry, weak coffee.

Great price for this area. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Small property but right on the lake and a very nice restaurant across the parking lot. No free breakfast but most hotel breakfasts are not that good and they recommended we try a nearby restaurant which I think was called Time Out. It was very good and priced right.

The Washburn Inn had very reasonable rates for this time of year. The room we stayed in was clean. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. It has very nice views of the bay and Marina. Very nice restaurant/supper club right next door. They have shown signs of updating rooms. It's a process, that they will complete in time. People need to be less critical. The ++ out weigh the -- When we return to that area I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!

Nice views.

The location is great- it's right on the water- restaurants and stores are close. The bed and shower were nice- good pillows too. It's an older hotel, the AC takes awhile to cool off but its not usually hot here so shouldn't be an issue. They gave us a fan when we asked. The customer service was excellent the 3 days we were here. Breakfast isn't included but there is a great coffee shop in town with great breakfast!
