I have stayed at the Inn on the Lake before and I always enjoy my stay. I love the in room Jacuzzi. The grounds are also lovely in the summer. I was there in the spring so it was getting nice but was still a little too cold to sit outside. However, The room smelled like smoke although it was a non-smoking room. When I first arrived in the room there was no Room service menu, there was also no indication on the paperwork in the room that room service was even an option. Like I said I had stayed before and knew that they did in deed do room service. So, I asked at the desk for a menu and the room service number. When the food did arrive it was not worth the 100$ I paid for it. I was there for a mom's night away and looking forward to some nice food. I was pretty disappointed when the food arrived. I will say it was hot which was great. But, the bacon wrapped scallops were lack luster, the shrimp cocktail had some silly leafy greens and a mayo sauce. I ordered the pan roasted Atlantic salmon. It came with some veggies (which were actually good) and a stupid piped tower of potatoes (please stop doing this). The salmon itself tasted good but seemed a little watery and not roasted by any means. There was no color or caramelization what so ever. I had thought about getting sushi at a nearby restaurant but decided to go with room service instead. That was a mistake.

What a wonderful establishment. I was greeted by a very friendly individual at check in who made me feel like a truly valued customer, my room was so much better than I expected, I had booked a regular queen room and while there was a queen bed indeed, I was greeted by a large Jacuzzi bath tub, a library stocked with books in my room and a small deck with outdoor seating right off my room. Upon checkout I really got the impression that the staff genuinely cared about my stay and made the experience even better. For a quiet, convenient and luxurious without paying a fortune, I highly recommend staying here, pleasant surprises await

The Inn on the Lake is a beautiful property right on the water. Our room had a fireplace, jacuzzi tub, and a little deck. The hotel is old, but well mantained and that is part of its charm. Very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. We didnt dine here so not sure about that part. But would definitely recommend.
