Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was very nice but small (after all it’s an inn). Staff was kind of one person, pleasant but hard to find at times. Attached restaurant was great, food was great.mattress was a little softer than we are comfortable with. Don’t expect a breakfast, consisted of coffee and packaged breakfast bars

The Gillhouse recently was remodeled. The rooms have new carpet, bathroom tile, vanity, paint or wallpaper. The rooms had new HVAC systems, TVs, ceiling fans and new windows with the privacy shade built in. They room style is modern. The property is right on Henderson Bay with beautiful view of the bay from the back porches and restaurant. Since we stayed late or off season the Gillhouse was quiet. The owner, Steve, showed us to our room and how everything in the room worked. Steve was very proud of the work. The quick tour was a nice personal touch. We ate all our lunches and dinners at the Gillhouse. The food, drinks and service were great. Eating at the hotel made the stay very convenient. The views from the property are amazing. There are great state parks a short drive from the Gillhouse. We also visited Sackets harbor and Watertown which are a 20 minute drive. There are good fishing spots about every 5-10 miles on route 3. Two things that needed work. First, the new HVAC system went on and off, kept getting an E7 error. The system was set to heat and 68F. The in room unit would hum for a bit and then show E7. Second, even though the hotel was mostly empty we could hear everything. The room door didn't shut well. The lock worked fine but you could see the hall light around half of the door. I would definitely stay at Gillhouse again. The style, location, food, and views are excellent.
