Great location. It was clean and quiet. The door locked but the deadbolt didn’t throw. There was no light in the kitchenette area. The only reason we had to use that area was because the bathroom sink had no counter space. The kitchenette sink and the bathroom tub leaked. The tub drained slow partly because the drain stopper was broken and the drain was clogged. The bathroom fan sounded like an outboard motor. The tv was I don’t know what and the channels stumbled through their paces before announcing that the mystery channel wasn’t available. But it was clean and quiet.

I would like to say that my room appeared to have been recently renovated so the bed and bedding were new. However, the entry door, windowsill and bathroom door had dirty smears on them like someone had tried to clean them with a dirty rag. The outlet in the bathroom wasn’t functional and the showerhead was situated near the ceiling, way too high for my 5’4” height. The bathroom door didn’t quite clear the floor so it dragged on the tile. Our view out our window would have been Lake Winnisquam except for the dumpster out back. The pictures showing the inn on Expedia were clearly old. The awning had duct tape all over it and no one was there for check out in the morning. They don’t staff until 9 am ?!? I wanted to give a better review because the beds were nice and clean but overall it was just strangely sloppy - that’s the only word I can think to describe it.

This property was absolutely the worse you can imagine! It appears the property was recently purchased and was in total rehab. I requested ground floor due to hip issues. When we arrived at the property very late at night and there was no one in the office when we arrived and I had to call the guy everymorning to come to the front office. He said getting up before 9:00 pm was too early for him. There was no breakfast, trash laying everywhere along with old furniture. Stairs were on the brink of breaking also. The room we ended up in was on the 3rd floor!!! He said there were no more rooms left. We were the only car on the parking lot!!! We finally convined Jack (front desk person) to move us to a larger room on the main floor with a walk up to the door with our luggage. We had to pay additional 25 night per room. We ended up staying at this property for 4 nights. We were also in this area due to a family death. We also had to ask for additional toilet paper, bath towels and facecloths every morning! I think someone needs to address the owner of this hotel and tell him to get busy with completing the renovations before they invite other guests to stay there. There were no soap dishes in the shower, no closet to hang clothes, desk and chair would have been nice also. I hope all this makes sense to you.

Never again. New ownership, enough said!

Stayed 2 yrs ago: was fine, clean but small room. We decided to come back, but made sure to choose larger room (w/ fireplace). When arrived, given same tiny room as last time. Went down to desk, explained we chose larger room w/ fireplace, was told no fireplace existed (so description is wrong on hotels.com). Should've left, but we were offered king room for same cost. Room was very dirty (I wiped down every surface w/ disinfectant wipes), 1/4 roll of tp in bathroom w/ no back up, dirty towels prompted us to buy new ones at Walmart. Bedsheet stained, they did change for us. But overall skeevy experience. Mildewed shower curtain was the worst. Breakfast was offered too late but looked like we didn't miss much. Coffee area had a dirty counter, nasty garbage container that was never emptied, dirty communal microwave, some Keurigs w/ pods, a plastic cup 1/2 filled w/ sugar, ew...Outside walkway unlit in am. Seemed to have a guy living in one of rooms full time, but really no other guests. I understand it's a summer location, but even last time we were here there were a few other people staying. I guess everyone knows better. On the plus, the bed (from previous owner's no doubt), was still comfortable, and we didn't get bugs so that's a relief, and the water was hot and plentiful even though it filled the tub. If you must stay here, make sure to bring your own towels, cleaning equipment, maybe bedsheets and a shower curtain. Doesn't warrant the cost savings here. Look elsewhere.
Photo of bathroom with its tiny sink, just to show the shower curtain is indeed in this bathroom
check out the pink mildew on the bottom of this shower curtain, so gross
did not feel clean to even take a shower, but at least water was hot
the bed was comfortable, but lacks a bed skirt, protective cover, or real comforter. Check that your sheets are not stained. if possible bring your own.

I was really excited about staying at this property. They promised a Lakeview and free breakfast. The Lakeview was looking at a large dumpster. And on our first day there they said breakfast would come out at 8 AM and it wasn’t ready so my family started their day hungry. I often choose places with breakfast There was also construction debris around the property. The rooms were beautiful and clean was very soft beds, which is why I gave it a three star rating. They also didn’t give us enough towels, soap or toilet paper. When I asked for them, it took me going down there two times to get them
