We were very happy there. We stayed in the Inn building. Our room was huge. When our a/c malfunctioned they came immediately to replace it. It was 9:00 at night. Next year we hope to book a lakefront room.

Convenient location for concert goers. We don’t get to see the lake from the property as we were in an annex building across the street so be sure to specify your room location.

The renovations for this hotel were a great surprise! I loved the easy-to-clean flooring (no carpet) in the rooms! The room was clean which is my #1 concern. I loved that we could do a 1-night stay as our schedule didn’t allow for more. It was a convenient drive to Gunstock and the kids loved the indoor pool and hot tub. The woman who worked at the front desk was such a sweet and welcoming person! She was very accommodating and friendly!

There was renovation going on we were unaware of ahead of time. Also the game room was closed. Room was brand new and clean & comfortable. There was ice all built up on the stairs by the entrance near our room. A shovel and salt and sand mix as if they know this happens but didn’t take the time to do anything about it. I used the mix to cover the thick layer of ice. Very surprised they wouldn’t chip or make an effort to remove it. It’s almost as if they are saying here do it yourself so I did!

Beautiful property by the lake. Free parking outside, shopping center across the street, a short drive to Weirs Beach and nice indoor pool and spa for cold weather. We enjoyed our stay.

The photos are misleading. While at the property, I didn’t see the lake. We were put on the other side of the road with a view of the back of a supermarket. The beds were built of card boards that creaked every time we moved. I will not spend $253 a night for this charmless place anymore. VERY MISLEADING
