Ice was not properly removed. Wife and others fell on black ice. Stair wells to second floor were not cleared. Checking in after hours was inconvenient for hotel's management. They call wife and asked when are you getting here, then abruptly hung up..😳. Overall will not stay again, unless thy offer a partial credit. And do better.

clean and convenient place. Lot’s of parking space, nearby a lake with beautiful view. Service desk is very friendly and helpful. No breakfast though, only self made coffee available.. No hair-dry or cups for teeth brushing in Bath room. Anyway, good place for saving cost for just a good sleep during travel.

Nice, but small

Room was a lot smaller than we expected but it had everything we needed for a quick night away. It was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We didn’t take advantage of the coffee and breakfast but it looked nice. Overall a pretty good value for the price.

Pictures were deceiving to the size of the room but it was still comfortable. The bathroom was small and the shower was dark but everything was very clean. TV only has cable but it was fun to go old school lol. Small linen but still functional. Inn keepers didn’t bother us unless asked for service.

The guy That runs the place was pleasant when we arrived. We did not have essentials we needed hardly any toilet paper was on the rolls and not any extra in the rooms. Not enough towels in rooms as well. We had 3 other families with us as well in different rooms and the same problems. We called front desk to have more brought to us and They sent to wrong rooms. 1 other family that was with us had no heat working and It kept tripping Everytime turned on. The guy that was working the front desk had rest of family members living in other rooms not sure if they owned it or what the situation was. They had to move Families out of rooms to accommodate the family that was with us to give them a room with heat throughout the very cold night, and The guy that ran it said I will have to move my family out of room and give you that room without even going to clean it.

This inn has very little charm. It is rather run-down, and overall cleanliness is an issue. I’m glad I booked it for only one day, as staying longer would have been a hassle. The picture on Expedia is misleading, showing the inn by the lake when, in fact, it is separated from the lake by the very busy Route 3. The manager was very nice and helpful, providing me with a roll of toilet paper (which was missing from the room) and a clean bedsheet.

We thought the price was good. The rooms were very small. I needed a ADA room, but all they did was give us a first floor room. There were no bars in the shower, We stayed for three nights but did not get our room cleaned even once. We were constantly short of towels, toilet paper and soap. Our room seemed to be in mid-construction, as it was not completely clean, and we found the shower curtain and rod had fallen into the tub.

There was ice all over the front porch to get in to check in. The tub was dirty plus the thing to switch from tub to shower was broke. Couldn’t have breakfast because it was in the office that did not open until 9 or 10 am.

Do NOT stay here

Clerk called around 1:30 asking if we were still coming (check-in is 3:00). He was adamant about us going ahead with check-in. We went to check-in early. Lobby was still dirty from breakfast (food in toaster, crumbs all over the counter, food still out). I got us checked in & we continued running our errands. We returned to the hotel to unload & to get ready to meet friends for dinner. We decided to check the room out prior to unloading & I’m glad we did! There were stains on the comforter, dead bugs on the pillows & mattress, flea grit on the sheets, shower so small that I can’t imagine anyone fitting into it, among other things. There was a mattress in the hallway, dirty sheets in the floor beside it, & the room door across from us had the door open (smelled like it had been fumigated). Not to mention the lake view was a view of a construction dumpster. We immediately went to return the room key; only to find the attendant had left early for the day. I wrote “fleas in bed; not staying; please refund” on the key card envelope & dropped it in the slot (heard it hit the floor). I can be pretty forgiving; but, this place was disgusting with very poor guest service.
