Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
First, this property is no longer Whispering Winds, it is now the Skaneateles Inn. All of the positive reviews in the past are likely from previous property/owners. Although the staff was very pleasant and accommodating (we were able to switch the night we had originally booked), the room itself was extremely unpleasant. When you flush the toilet, the water in the sink slows to a trickle, so difficult to wash your hands. Then the shower pressure was awful (unusable). The water was scalding hot and once I had put shampoo in my hair, the water stopped coming out of the shower head altogether. I tried multiple times to get the water to come out of the shower head with no success. I had to kneel (on my flipflops bc I wasn't comfortable going in the shower without them) and put my head under the slow running, scalding hot faucet, to get the shampoo out. After a wonderful day on the lake, the experience really put a damper on our getaway. Other issues: no sheet on one of the beds (they quickly brought one when called), was supposed to be a king bed and got two double, light out in the bathroom (which I notified on checkout, so not sure if it was fixed) and the AC unit is ridiculously loud! Would not recommend this motel, unless there are MAJOR updates made to the property.
