The Inn reminds me of "Kellerman's Resort" in the movie "Dirty Dancing". There must be something wrong with the eyes of all of the folks that posted unfavorable reviews of The Inn, or they have no appreciation for the history, charm and beauty of this magnificent property. I am a bride who was married on the grounds of The Inn.... More

We chose to stay at The Inn because my nephew was getting married here. As I opened the door to our room my first impression was of a small outdated dumpy room with a window air conditioner. Upon closer inspection it was a freshly painted room with a retro look & feel. The rooms (and my immediate family booked three)... More

The hotel itself is a bit dated but overall clean and in a good location. However, the staff/manager is quite incompitent. We stayed in July 2012 for 2 nights and it's almost October and we are still seeing charges! Let me go back, we had 2 rooms for 2 nights. They had a power outage at chek in so we... More

I stayed at this hotel with my husband and son for my cousin's wedding and I would never stay here again. This hotel needs a complete makeover. The rooms are very dated and look like something from the 1960's. First, Beds are super uncomfortable and very, very old. I couldn't sleep the two night we were there- one because they... More

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at The Inn. We were there for a wedding over the Labor Day weekend. While there was a snafu with the wedding brunch the following day, that didn't really reflect on the establishment as much as it did the planning. The Inn is centrally located to a bunch of attractions, it's right... More

We read really bad reviews after booking our stay here but were pleasantly surprised at what a nice time we had. Our waterfront room was nice, the AC worked good. The beds were very firm if not hard, the shower would run hot and cold, and the yes, the TV was older; but... the view was beautiful!! We rented a... More

My wife and I went here for our anniversary the third week of August 2012. The rooms are terrible as the other reviews have stated. Outdated, lumpy beds, poor air conditioning and a tv from the 70's. To top it off, we were out of our room for 34 minutes on a walk and the cleaning service (male and female)... More

My wife and I had an unpleasant two-night stay in August 2012. The Inn itself is in deperate need of a complete makeover, the paint is chipping, the wallpaper is pealing off, the television is from the 1980's. Worst of all, there is no sound barrier between the rooms or the ceiling, so we were contantly woken up at night... More

We stayed at this hotel the first weekend of August, 2012 for my brother's wedding. My first thought when I got to my room was "what a [--]!" Our poolside room was facing the wall of another building. The staff parked their cleaning cart and garbage right in front of our room for the majority of the day. My grandparents... More

We have stayed several times at the Inn over the last 15 years. This year we stayed in a Lake Front Suite-which is to use the term "suite" very loosely. This room type is nothing more than a regular hotel room with a walk closet attached and two bunk beds inside. There is zero cool air getting in there if... More
