Would not recommend a stay...

Liked: The location
Disliked: There was no cable for 2 nights (which I think we should get a little refund back cause that was one of the amenities and so was the coffeemaker). The beds were uncomfortable you can feel the springs on the beds the coffeemaker wasn’t working and there was no way to contact anybody they give you phone numbers in case of anything but they never answered the phone the housekeeping lady was very nice

Very good

Liked: Cute little spot in the middle of town, walkable distance to the state park and lake. It's fairly basic but in line with expectations for the price. The onsite ice cream is excellent!

Our stay was comfortable and...

Liked: This old Inn was very homey and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location is excellent for the activities we had planned. We will return again..staff said they were going to remodel and update in the fall.I hope they don't take away all the old charm of the place.
Disliked: Nothing. The only thing I suggested to the manager was putting non skid straps in the bathtub.

Love the location and the...

Liked: Convenience to all the amenities was excellent. Would stay here again just because of this, but would really rate this higher if the below was addressed.
Disliked: The Wi-Fi wasn’t working at all. Couldn’t get signal majority of the stay. But when we could, it was very weak and often not working at all or would disconnect. Also, the TV never worked, even after following the directions on the tv. We don’t have a lot of time in the room, mainly in the evening after a full day out, but didn’t have any way of watching tv if we wanted to.

Was a bed to sleep...

Liked: Great location to walk around town , ice cream was good . Bathroom was cleaned
Disliked: Very old and run down, dirty towel hanging on back of bathroom door, string cheese wrapper under bed, wallpaper falling off walls, carpet frayed, old electrical. No plug inthe bathroom to blow dry hair . Staff at ice cream was not friendly, waited 10 minutes second night for ice cream and nobody came out even after I rang the bell. Always smelled like cannibus being smoked downstairs . Had no idea we were staying upstairs with no elevator until we got there . Couldn’t switch our room we asked,
