Toilet paper should be included in the cost of your stay
Pros:

It’s very close to the Connecticut Renaissance Festival, which is probably the only thing keeping this motel in business

Cons:

No toilet paper! Had to call multiple times to get it! Talked to someone who stays there every year and they said it happened last year. Now they know to bring their own toilet paper. It’s absolutely ridiculous to charge people over a hundred dollars a night just to not give them toilet paper.

lovely little spot for a few days stay!
Pros:

Very homey!

Cons:

Some outdoor bugs inside, but to be expected when staying in a location in the woods.

Great Hotel for the price. Rustic summer camp vibes. Friendly staff.
Pros:

The grounds were beautiful and the hotel had a very nostalgic summer camp feel to it that I enjoyed a lot.

Cons:

Our shower had no pressure. It came out in a trickle. I hope that can be fixed. Also we only stayed one night and there was only one partial roll of toilet paper and no extra roll. We ran out by morning. The staff were awesome and got us some more promptly, but it was a silly thing to have to ask for.

So bad we did not stay. Endured the long drive home instead.
Pros:

Chose this place because of proximity to ren faire.

Cons:

They have a pool, it is half filled and abandoned, a bacteria pit. 1970's rooms. Not updated. My wife rejected place, we turned around and left after seeing room for 30 seconds.

Barely adequate.
Pros:

The location. It was 10 min from the Renaissance Faire that we were attending.

Cons:

The restaurant that was advertised is closed. The outdated pink tub had mold in the grout and barely any water pressure in the shower. The light fixtures didn't work well.

We needed a place to stay within driving distance of Mohegan Sun. This place as only 1/2 hr away at a cost effective
Pros:

Location

Cons:

It’s dated. They’re trying to update so that’s a plus.

2nd Stay at Grand Lake, even Better than the 1st.
Pros:

My 2nd stay at Grand Lake and it was an even nicer stay than before. Everything, and I mean Everything was Perfect. Very clean rooms, very comfortable beds, very welcoming staff that even led me to my room. I love staying at Grand Lake and I look forward to returning.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing, it was Perfect from start to finish.

Cons:

Based on the quality and appearance of the buildings, lack of signage, lack of formality (not an active office and didn’t check my Id), the fee odd guests that I saw, dated decor, key code door lock (which didn’t make me comfortable), odors both in the hallway and near entrances we only stayed an hour and then left. My husband and I did not feel safe to stay the night.

Pros:

The location and relate was excellect

Cons:

The coffee situation. No coffee maker in room. They do have a microwave and mini fridge that worked great. Kuerig coffee maker in the lobby worked but was not always stocked with enough kcups and had to get a pitcher of water from room to fill it
