Everything about the hotel is great! Value, cleanliness, spa, and staff were all 5 stars. Only critique would be that there is no hot breakfast and for the price of the stay, it would be nice to have a few hot breakfast options.

Great location on the lake with great views, especially at sunrise. Couldn't try the sauna/whirlpool as a local kids' party had taken over the Inn (common areas on 2nd floor and the entire whirlpool enclosure), which was very disappointing. (As were all the Moms walking barefoot throughout the lobby/property and then stepping into the hot tub). Rooms were decent, good size, comfrotable beds and linens - good value for the price here.

From check-in to departure, everything about our stay at The Inn on Long Lake was perfect: the king suite overlooking the lake was spacious, clean and comfortable, the lady at check-in was very attentive and kind and the young man at check-out was equally polite and efficient. We have stayed before and will stay again! We missed having scrambled eggs at breakfast but maybe that's only a weekend item? No worries, we like the place and we will see you again.
