Incredible bargain, right in the Village! Very large and comfortable- I wish we could have stayed for a month. Just walk outside and you're surrounded by shops, restaurants, a local coffee house; even a little market right across the street.

Carpet was wet all day and nite . Was not offered a new room. I was forced to stay and wear shoes though out my stay . Staff did not accommodate for inconvenience stating “you used room” and you pay for stay . Not able to peak to someone in person or phone . All communication was by email. Staff could care less !

Fun Stay

Highly recommend the village in, it’s centrally located in the village where all of the shops and restaurants are. It’s also about a 5 minute walk from the lake.

The place is very very dated. For the price I paid for a night I expected better. The bathroom is the smallest I have even been in. If you are looking for some place nice, I wouldn't choose this one! For a cheap price sure but not for 200$+

Loved that the entrance stepped right out into the Village area. Had Pizza and icecream couple business down. Mexican and BBQ across the street. Parking was right in back of building with great lighting. We stayed in Grizzle and enjoyed our stay. We will definitely stay again. Loved that we got to walk everywhere!

Great place if you want to take advantage of being right in The Village. You can walk out of the building and grab a gelato from the downstairs gelato and tea store right in the building. We ate at the surrounding restaurants, ate gelato and frozen yogurt, checked out the stores and watched a movie at the Village Cinemas. The Village Inn is dated but very clean and everything worked fine including the wifi. Had a full kitchen with full size refrigerator/freezer, microwave, range, plates, silverware, pots/pans, etc. which we didn't use as we ate out. No central a/c but they have a portable inside if you need it. Portable a/c's are loud so cool down your room before you go to sleep or do what I do when traveling which is bring some earplugs. This isn't a "front desk" type of lodging unit but communication is excellent and timely. I received all of the information I needed via text and email. Room access is via a code that they provide when you text a copy of your ID the day of. When you check out, you just drop them a text. Convenient parking in the back of the building parking lot.

The property is in an excellent location.... right in the heart of the village! It is dated, but they have done a few things to update it like new flooring, fresh paint, new couch, nice bed. It was clean, cool, and comfortable for what we needed! We stayed in #5, Polar Bear.
