The room was clean,but very basic, and the pillows rather hard and uncomfortable. The building in general is quite run down and sad, the office only opens at 3 pm, and there is a lot of noise from street construction in front of the buillding, of which we were only warned AFTER the expiration of the time allowed to cancel our reservation.

The room was very clean. The outside area is very dated and not kept as well. Areas are roped off for safety. The woman who checked us in was not pleasant. This inn could be charming. It’s in a wonderful location with the lake and walking paths and restaurants nearby.
