Inn On Long Lake

Inn On Long Lake

10/10 Excellent
"We loved the separate building with a view of the lake, housing the hot tub, sauna and change rooms. The room was clean, spacious and the staff were all helpful and friendly. There was a bowl of apples at the front desk and fresh coffee available in the lobby 24/7. The only issue I had is that the fitness room opened at 8 am. I enjoy working out around 6 am, showering and then getting breakfast. An 8 am start time is too late, in my opinion."
