Overall, our stay was excellent. The beauty of the area made the stay unique and relaxing. We enjoyed the huge stone fireplace and cozy commons room! The staff was incredibly responsive and friendly. The included breakfast was much better than anticipated with potatoes, sausage, bacon, eggs, waffles, vogues and toppings, fruit and much more. Our room with 2 queens was updated, very clean and quiet. Our room with a king bed was not updated and noisy due to loud toilets. We could hear all of them around us when flushed. The windows needed cleaned really badly. It was sad to have such a beautiful view marred by tons of bugs and webs. Across the street, we enjoyed the artisan gift shop and ice cream while sitting in rockers enjoying views of the lake. Beautiful place and we would definitely stay again but not in a king room on the second floor.

We stayed one night on a family trip to the mountains. We had 5 rooms. The lake view is spectacular! Rooms were spacious enough - get a king bed if not sold out; the doubles are somewhat tight for two people! Check in was easy, staff was friendly. Lobby nice & clean & great seating areas. We had ample parking for a large van and a large SUV. Water pressure could use some work and a deep clean might be needed but overall it was fine for a night.

Staff were very friendly during our stay. The hotel itself feels stuck in the 90s/early 00s, however the dining room (floor 3) seemed to be more modern. Room was very musty smelling throughout the stay and we got a noise complaint because our kids were laughing and playing as we were unpacking at 5pm. That may just be because the average age of guests skewed heavily toward the older crowd. Both nights the elevator area smelled like marijuana and we had to put a towel under the door - we did let the front desk know. The coffee shop across the street was very nice and the playground was great for our kids to kill some time before the wedding we were attending. Breakfast was good and had many options.

Rooms are small and without amenities. Not comfortable..poor seating options inside the tight room. Bathroom is way too small and did not like the sink located outside the bathroom. Felt more like a dormitory than actual "Inn" and felt truly like it was 'off season'. Very out dated room decor and sheets were a wrinkled mess even before sleeping. Not enough hangers. air conditioning was inconsistent temperature control. Windows were dirty and sad not to have clear vision to enjoy the lake view. the Inn entrance porte couchere is ridiculously large and dark (not inviting at all) theres limited parking. The large ''gathering" room seemed lovely .... the dining area is very utilitarian and cafeteria like. lacking ambience. .... fine for conventions but not what I would call an Inn. I think I misjudged or this is misrepresented in its ad outreach. the lake was lovely.

Disliked: Staff & service
Hotel was fine but really no better than a Motel 6 or other road side place to stay. The lake is pretty but way smaller than the website implies. Check-in staff had no suggestions of things to do or places to eat, didn't show how to get to our room & was generally unhelpful. Restaurant in site & gift shops were all closed, patio chairs were dirty & filled with cobwebs. Various places needed painting & just an overall feeling of a tired, old building. We weren't there for a spiritual retreat & so felt out of place with all the religious symbols, prayer request boxes & the signs saying that there was no alcohol allowed - not because of county laws but because it is bad for your body. I don't need to be judged by my hotel & I certainly felt that way.
