They advertise breakfast to order. But the egg bites served the first day were obviously cooked off first thing in the morning. Pancakes was the day breakfast. Nice enough and fresh for sure. Second morning breakfast was more typical bacon and eggs which was done to order though I’d say again the bacon was cooked off earlier. Smoothies were a nice touch as well as the yogurt on second day. I expect more for $300.00 / night at an inn./ B&B The hot tub wasn’t even 100 degrees so warm bath. Nice deck though.

This was our third time at The Lady MacDonald Inn. The first 2 stays were really good. This time, when we arrived 20 minutes before the check in time, the front door was locked. We tried calling the number they have posted on the door and got the voice mail, finally we tried calling the number on Google. If they knew guests were going to check in why was the front door locked? Then not even an apology, the front desk lady looked annoyed. Secondly our bed this time was really uncomfortable, the mattress was bent at the center, so we didn't have a good sleep. I love the hotel location, but may try a different place next time.

The room was very clean, our welcome to the Inn was good. The property is showing signs of aging and with a few small improvements it could regain a 5 star rating for us. The leather stool needs to go into the garbage, the lights should all be one temperature, the TV and stand look like they were plunked in "a place for now". The bathroom shows signs of needing some upgrades. The Inn has a great location the price was very reasonable, but someone needs to pay attention to the many small things that will keep ti worth coming back to.
