The hotel is doing some freshening/renovations, but it was still very quiet. The Calypso restaurant has really good food and a beautiful outdoor area overlooking the lake. It is a short walk to Town Square, so very convenient. The only issue is that there is no designated hotel parking, so parking after 5 pm can be sparse due to the nightly entertainment at the square. We really enjoyed our stay.

Been coming to the Inn for many years to visit family. Kudos to the up grades and removal of the pineapple wall paper. It's nice to see the modern upgrade to the front desk and the redo of the bar area. Some suggestions: Comp coffee was terrible (burnt flavor) keep guests from going to Starbucks please. Dining tables and chairs in Calypso seem cheap and dated. I felt like I was in an IHop. Some high tops would be nice. Great new view however.

Will not return.

Sour faced, unfriendly, front desk lady. Terrible room. 215. Worst in the hotel I think. Undisclosed construction INSIDE the hotel woke us up. Bad experience. Won’t return.

Overall the property was excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive and helpful. The rooms were good-excellent, but slightly dated. No big deal. The grounds and location were excellent with proximity with the lake, shops, dining, etc. Perhaps it was a bit on the expensive side, but there were a lot of amenities to support the higher cost. I selected the property for convenience and my accommodations were more than sufficient. I would stay here again.
