    The room's location was directly on the sidewalk, so the curtains were closed, eliminating any natural light. I would have liked to have an option of rooms and would have requested to be on the waterside versus the street and would have paid for it.

    The Inn's location is great with walking distance to fun little shops. The restaurant/bar in the hotel was also great.

    No privacy, your window is on the sidewalk. Noisy (next door, street, no isolation). All dishes were dirty, including refrigerator, coffee machine, glasses…

    Our patio was a common area so that could've been awkward but we didn't see anyone else when we were there. It also needed a good cleaning outside but I think the lady probably works alone.

    The Crystal Palace was a great room. Can't speak to the others. The bar and restaurant was closed, so I can't speak to that either. The tub and shower were nice!

    Interesting part of town on the waterfront but we couldn’t figure out how to walk down to it. Walked to a breakfast cafe which was nice. The room itself has steps; you need to pay attention if you get up during the night.

    I was there for work; my wife came out to meet me late in the week. I asked to have the sheets changed and they never came to change them. No staff around at all. Food was Okay.

    Location was great. Right by the downtown area and on the water. Had the penthouse which had an awesome view of the water and great porch. They had a beautiful bar area.

    Convenient to our favorite restaurant. I brought cleaning supplies because of reviews. Not needed. Used my own pillow & pillowcase because allergic to their perfumed fabric softener..tho linens smelled nice, just clogged my sinuses. Cute room, loads of nice towels, big jacuzzi & balcony shared with friendly swallows on the wall.

    This downtown location is showing its wear. Stayed in Arabian Nights room, friends stayed downstairs in French Country room. Our shower was broken, backup shower was just OK, didn't use jetted tub. No bathroom door, just a privacy screen. Balcony was great, overlooking the lake but furniture was rusted so not great for outdoor dining, no outdoor space for French room. No restaurant on site, coffee maker in room had issues. Loved the ambience, and Beau the manager was wonderful but the place needs a bit of upgrading.

    We were in downtown location, great location for wandering the town, food options and swimming off the public dock as there no pool. Most rooms have balcony or outdoor space. Theme rooms are cute. Beds comfortable, rooms clean, lots of towels.

    Nothing to whine about, but no real milk or cream for the coffee and not a big deal, but no microwave. Nice refrigerator, though.

    They let us check in early. We could see the lake from our beautiful and unique room. The bath had plenty of hot water. It was very unique with cool appointments.
