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.

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 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!
