Property was right on the main road so it was a tad noisy. What was worse is that it's under renovations and the property is not in great shape at the moment. Staffing was also limited so few people wearing a lot of hats.

The main number listed goes to voicemail and is never answered. The secondary number found on their site, I called around 10am the day of check-in to specifically ask if someone would be at the desk when we check in after a wedding we were attending around 10:30pm. The guy I spoke to said yes. I get two calls in the middle of the wedding at 5:30 asking what time I will be checking in after I already told them. I tell them again 10:30pm. We get to the property and no one is there to check us in. The phone was going unanswered, my husband didn’t know about the secondary phone number. 15 minutes later we get ahold of him and got into our room but having to wait after being told someone would be there was frustrating. He did offer us $100 back which was great because the room was not worth the $350 we paid. There was blood on the bathroom door. The shower curtain was kind of gross. And there are gaps around the main door where light and bugs can easily come through. Breakfast was not available when we were leaving at 8:30ish. All around not worth what was paid.

We waited a while for someone to come check us in. By the time we got to our room, that person was gone. Never to be seen or heard from again. There was no internet, TV didn't work and neither did the remote control. I immediately went back to the office and left a message on the desk, stating so. No one answered the 2 phone numbers that was posted on the office door to call if we needed anything. I tried calling for 2hrs. No way to leave a message and no answer. We left to go to our concert and returned back to the Inn around 11:30pm. The main door was left open and still no one was around. Luckily, we didn't forget or lose our key, because we wouldn't be able to get into our room. It was my daughter and myself in our room. It felt very unsafe, knowing anyone could walk in the front door. There was no phone in our room as well. We went to bed and when we got up and was ready to check out, there still was no one in the office. I left the keys and we left. I will never stay there again. We did not feel safe.

Find another hotel!
Room was clean but tiny and no chair to even sit on in. My biggest complaint is there was NO hot water for our showers, Wi-Fi did not reach our room and tv/cable was not working . Staff at check in was usually not there. I would not stay at this hotel again.

This property has gone downhill and needs some TLC by someone who cares as it has such great potential to be a nice historical property with a few upgrades.

The most horrible place I think I’ve ever walked into. You could barely move in the room. The bathroom smelled like urine. The room smelled like smoke. I can’t even believe that this is listed as a recommended place to stay. The only good thing was the view of the lake. I must say the couple that was running the whole place were very nice and helpful when I requested a refund and moved to another place that really wasn’t that much better but certainly better than here.

Will never stay here again!
Exterior of building was disgusting and alarming. We had it set in our minds we would not be staying here. Check in was supposed to be 3 there was nobody at the desk and a line of people started to form. We had an event to get to and wanted to refresh in the room quick and head back out. Finally someone appeared at 3:20 and when she looked for my booking she said I had canceled. I did cancel and rebooked and I had my booking pulled up on hotels app to show her, she said she would give us a room, well thank goodness because I had a live booking for proof. She said the room wasn’t ready (it was supposed to be by 3) So we weren’t able to use the room and we did not feel safe leaving our belongings. We came back at 11pm and beds were changed but bathroom was not clean, seems there is ongoing repairs and the sawdust was still there around the toilet and bathroom floors and doors were covered in it. I will never come here again!
