Disliked: Amenities
While the grounds are pleasant and exterior of buildings look nice pay attention to the room. We stayed at the Gable Little dark inside no elevator as only 2 story. Room could be cleaner at baseboard by beds crumbs and dirt. The hot water tap in morning was milky white and the sink. Tv remote control doesn’t work. Had to use on off button on tv. Finally no maid service had to request someone come empty garbage bins and bring clean towels. I’m still waiting to hear back from the property. Thankfully we only stayed 2 nights. Very disappointed

Main meal was not good. Appetizer was wrong. Waited forever for the entree. Had prime rib and eggs. Prime rib was fatty. No bread available for eggs. Waiter was not attentive as should have been. Bathtub needed non-slip material. Difficult to adjust shower. Water pressure appears low. Building built in 1883 so there is a lot to be desired. Trip was pleasant.

The property was located central to all the shopping and restaurants. The rooms are very nice but not updated. If you’re looking for a really beautiful stay definitely try Lakeside Inn. We had a great time and the entire staff was excellent.
