The Inn name and the photo on Expedia are a bit misleading. This is a nicely situated motel, facing a small lake but close to the 19A highway, so some noise. Updated Rooms open to the outside. Balconies offer a view of the lake. I had a suite with Decent kitchenette. The pool noted on some websites is a hot tub and the buidling for this and sauna are separate from the main building but close. The Inn is close to many good dining options and groceries.

The Inn was perfect for our 1 night stay with our dog. The view is beautiful and if it was summer we noted paddle boards and kayaks. The room was very clean, comfortable beds, if you are fussy about your pillow they are not the best, but adequate. The rooms are soundproof, we didnt realize there were 2 dogs next door until we physically saw them. The included breakfast is nice but minimal and they run out of items quickly.

Very noisy. Groups partying outside by the lake until way past the 11pm 'required' quiet time. Kids running down the hall yelling well before 8am. Breakfast area way too small for the number of guests. Not space for everyone to sit down. No clean cutlery - out of coffee, fruit & eggs by 8am. No condiments for toast/bagels except butter. Very disappointing. Room was clean and super comfortable.
