If you just need a bed to sleep in this is a decent spot. The breakfast bar had a broken waffle maker, overflowing trash, and no spoons. There was work going on outside, so the attendant wasn't always there, so it might have just been an off weekend. But the bed was clean and the price was decent.

The location of the inn is absolutely gorgeous right across from the lake. Besides that, the room was not super clean and we had an issue with spiders in our room. The front door didn’t lock correctly. We stayed for 2 days and no one ever came to give us fresh towels or check in to clean. It wasn’t completely terrible but I doubt I’d stay there again with so many other options close by.

Not what was advertised

Continental breakfast was a dirty waffle maker, 2 open bowls of cereal and 3 juice pouches. Coolers were empty, no pastries, no fruit, no juices and the area was extremely dirty. The hotel advertised free bottled water but actually it was a water cooler.

Not what the pictures show. The bathroom was so bad we didn’t even shower. The tub had stains in it and the vanity was even connected. The A/c unit was loud and the bedding had a bad odor. Will not stay there again.
