What a wonderful establishment. I was greeted by a very friendly individual at check in who made me feel like a truly valued customer, my room was so much better than I expected, I had booked a regular queen room and while there was a queen bed indeed, I was greeted by a large Jacuzzi bath tub, a library stocked with books in my room and a small deck with outdoor seating right off my room. Upon checkout I really got the impression that the staff genuinely cared about my stay and made the experience even better. For a quiet, convenient and luxurious without paying a fortune, I highly recommend staying here, pleasant surprises await

The Inn on the Lake is a beautiful property right on the water. Our room had a fireplace, jacuzzi tub, and a little deck. The hotel is old, but well mantained and that is part of its charm. Very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. We didnt dine here so not sure about that part. But would definitely recommend.

I booked this for my Anniversary. I checked several places to dine in the area, but we wanted to stay in. Door Dashed him a pizza and called to order room service - after 3 call backs from the front desk, I was advised I couldn't order room service as they were too busy and understaffed. My husbands food arrived and I legit had nothing for supper on my anniversary. I ate a cheese plate I picked up for the drive. It absolutely ruined the evening - we had to go find the liquor store to get drinks, because we couldn't order room service. How about tending to your guests and prioritize them over outside diners. I doubt we will be back!
