It looks like the owners are rennovating the property, as the hotel room itself was ok. So things may improve. But tbe rest of the property was filthy & just in desperate need of repair and/or a coat of paint. The breakfast area is in same room as check-in. While checking-in around 3:30PM, I noticed crumbs & old food left out on counter which was disconcerting. But when I accidentally leaned against the counter, it was covered with spilled syrup - all down the cabinet & a puddle on the floor which was just gross. The hotel is on a main street, so there's a lot of traffic noise.

The view was gorgeous. The property, not so much. The sheets and towels had brown/red stains on them. There flies and cobwebs inside. The room we had, had a huge soft spot in the floor. Looked like there was roof leakage that was down in the common area as well.

I really liked the location. It is situated right across from a lake. Beautiful view. However, the interior of the Inn he is in really bad shape. The screens on the windows are not properly fitted, which is a serious danger for each child as well as bugs can get into the rooms. It's just very dirty. It looks like the rugs haven't been washed in 30 years. There is no one at the front desk after 9 PM. The only way to get in contact with them is a telephone number which wasn't answered a couple times when we were trying to check out. They are very nice people that work there.

Absolutely not a recommended place to stay! Let's start with the exterior, it's not only photos, not exactly real thing! All surrounding lakes are private property, so it's forbidden to approach them except from a distance. Even though the fee includes breakfast, there is enough (can say no breakfast), if you suddenly have a problem and call the reception, no one picks up the phone, if you go in person, their door is closed, I personally got very disappointed. Don't try to stay here.

Bathroom not cleaned

Not very clean. The bathroom toilet had not been cleaned, there was a pile of dead bugs behind the bathroom door, shower curtain/rod was on the floor when we arrived. We went to the front desk and requested another room and they kindly did, but we were still pretty disappointed.

The price was right!

Upon arrival there was a mass of people who were checking in. In the room where you do this is also the continental breakfast room with one big dining room table and chairs. People were packed in there and the ones who just checked in were coming straight back to complain. One lady had no electricity in the bathroom. The other one was upset that her room had not been cleaned yet from the previous night. After 20+ minutes I finally got checked in. That night we discovered big black carpenter ants and the only lamp in the room had a short and flickered like poltergeist. The bed had deep impressions and the pillows were very flat. The price was right though. Lol

Not too impressed.

It was like a half way house for troubled people. Granted, people have issues to deal with, however, I think it should be announced that their main business seems to be long term tenants and in dire straits. The grounds reflected as much due to cigarette buts, broken chair on the ground that was the entire time I stayed, and the one visit by a patrol officer at night with his lights off and running in and out of the building. I seen breakfast stuff behind a closed and locked door, but never did see anyone unlocking it…at breakfast anyways. Brunch time, yes. But I was on a family business trip and didn’t have the time to set and wait until 0900-10am. So how was my stay? Never do it again, there anyways.

Staff were nice, polite. Most of rooms recently renovated. Great spot, across from Lake Winnisquam with beach across the road on the lake for guests to use. Very minimal breakfast, small room and no freezer or microwave in room(some rooms do have though). Great place to stay for the price.

I would like to say that my room appeared to have been recently renovated so the bed and bedding were new. However, the entry door, windowsill and bathroom door had dirty smears on them like someone had tried to clean them with a dirty rag. The outlet in the bathroom wasn’t functional and the showerhead was situated near the ceiling, way too high for my 5’4” height. The bathroom door didn’t quite clear the floor so it dragged on the tile. Our view out our window would have been Lake Winnisquam except for the dumpster out back. The pictures showing the inn on Expedia were clearly old. The awning had duct tape all over it and no one was there for check out in the morning. They don’t staff until 9 am ?!? I wanted to give a better review because the beds were nice and clean but overall it was just strangely sloppy - that’s the only word I can think to describe it.
