I've never stayed here before. I booked the room, was snooping online abs came across tripadvisor, read all the bad reviews and thought crap, I made a mistake. I was expecting the worst. I was very pleased with the room. The inn is right on the lake, you look out and all you see is water. And having a jacuzzi... More

We stayed for 2 nights for a wedding. We had a lakeview room with a jacuzzi tub. The room was booked by another party for us and we didn't have any problem checking in. The receptionist was friendly enough but her appearance was a bit off-putting. Not as professional as I would have expected but it didn't effect our stay!... More

We stayed in a lake view room on new years eve and it was surprisingly quiet... When we arrived the receptionist seemed a little agitated (not sure why) and sorry she was the first impression, because beyond that,it was a good experience. The lobby was still directed from Christmas with a huge beautiful tree and gorgeous large wreath hanging above... More

My husband and I have stayed here in the past primarily for the purpose of enjoying the pretty lake views in a certain section of the hotel. We reserved a specific room in advance; however, the hotel staff decided to give our room to someone else who reserved the room after we did and moved us to a completely different... More

We were welcomed by a very friendly and helpful receptionist. The standard room we were in was spacious with a large attractive bath. We ate very well at the onsite restaurant for a reasonable price. They offered optional smaller servings which I appreciated. Much nicer and cheaper than the Holiday Inn Express across the street.

Chose to stay in a floating cabin, loved it! It is not a modern houseboat, the carpet is super super old and sun-stained and needs replaced...but it was very well cleaned and vaccuumed. The couch and chair were of an old pattern but they were sturdy and not ripped and fine to sit on. The boat does rock when any... More

I met a group of friends here and was very happy at the Inn. The staff was friendly and usually helpful. The decor was dated, but my room and bed comfortable, the refrigerator and AC worked well, etc. I didn't try the jacuzzi. One of my friends stayed in a boathouse and it was fun watching the turtles. The breakfast... More

My mother, sister and I wanted a one night getaway. We chose the Blue Heron Inn for the "Boathouse" experience. Our check in was smooth. The desk clerk escorted us to boathouse and showed us where breakfast would be served in the morning. The boathouse was clean. Part of the ceiling wallpaper was starting to peel and the carpet was...

This was the worst place I never stayed. Roadtripping with my friend. Paid 80 for a room. Walked to the room. Saw there was no lock. Mold in the bathroom. Hair in the bed. Did not feel safe at this hotel. Walked right downstairs within 10mins and asked for my money back and they would not give me a refund.... More

I stayed for just one night as I was in town to attend a wedding. When I arrived I stood at the front desk for at least 90 seconds while two employees had a conversation between themselves before anyone even acknowledge my existance. The room was clean but very dated. Room had a 15" CRT TV and a VCR! Most... More
