Its a beautiful location.
The first room i was assigned had gum stuck to the headboard and white stuff on the rug.
Check in was very pleasant. It was very icy walk to room & I had my elderly mother with me. Room was fine. Went to breakfast at 7:15, it was locked. So no continental breakfast.

It was an okay place to stay for one night. The only thing is when we got there no one was at the desk and the same thing when we tried to check out, so we just left the key cards on the desk.
Room was a good size with a really good view of the lake. It is near a busy road so it is kind of hard to sleep, as well as the dripping on the shower and all the other noises in the room I found it really overstimulating.
Due to flight delays, we were very late and owner made sure to leave us our keys available. Nice shower and comfortable beds. If in area, I would stay again.
Front desk person and other staff were very nice. Lake view from our room was beautiful. Room was dated and mismatched. Cleanliness of room and bathroom were sketchy at best. For $77, you get what you pay for.

The room was clean. The property was centrally located and very affordable. I stayed during the off-season and the entire place to myself. The hotel offers beautiful views of Winnisquam Lake. It was great to watch the sunrise over the mountains in the morning.
Room felt neglected- no shower curtain, TV did not work, walls and screen window was shabby - I kinda expected some neglect - this seemed like too much. Then saw the smoke detector cover was missing and lost confidence in it’s safety so left and booked at another location.
