The moment we slept, there were tons of bedbugs all around. We had to check out in 2 hours and go to a different place

Find somewhere else to stay.
Pros:

The property is very pretty. The Inn itself stinks.

Cons:

We reserved and PAID FOR a king size bed and booking.com gave us a room with 2 small beds. Or at least they blamed it on booking.com (so won't use them ever again).Ran heat/AC at 50 degrees with blower on high and sweated all night long. "Room with a lake view" is a joke, you have to be literally standing at the window to see the lake, once you sit down the view is gone. No place to set luggage except for a tiny couch, so no place to sit except on the bed. Very uncomfortable all the way around. Bathroom tiny with no lid on the toilet so if something on the shelf above the toilet falls off, it lands right in the toilet. Coffee, when it was available (they ran out frequently) was weak. Hot water for tea hit or miss, certainly not there all day long like they say it is. Never put out more decaf tea bags once those were gone. WAY over priced. Will not ever be back.

We were disappointed in this hotel and will not recommend it to anyone.
Pros:

The gardens & Lakeview were nice. We enjoyed the view of the lake from the balcony as well as the rocking chairs.

Cons:

The staff weren't very friendly. They just did their job of checking us in & out. Never saw them smile. Our room was very warm and the air conditioner would not cool the room. Because of this we were not able to sleep at all. My roommate was sick and this made her even sicker. Hotel management was unable to remedy the situation because there was no other available room to move us to. We were placed in the older wing of the hotel where the thermostats of all the rooms were controlled by the boiler room downstairs which adjusted itself according to the outside temperature. This was never communicated to us until after it happened. The hotel is very dated, smells musty & the rooms and beds are really small. Our refrigerator didn't work.

Charming, has potential, but deflated experience
Pros:

I like the historical charm of the building. The front desk and cleaning staff were friendly. The location is good. I like the little trail in the back and the walkability around the lake. The water pressure and heat in the shower was refreshing.

Cons:

I feel like our experience didn’t match what we saw online. There were no activities in the hotel, it actually felt a bit like a ghost town. I’m surprised there wasn’t any food offered. For the size of the property, the price we paid, and especially according to the mission statement of the property, hospitality should include food. There are not many dining options within walking distance and especially depending on timing or day, they may not be actual options. The bed sadly wasn’t very comfortable. The bathroom was very tiny.

Would stay there again, but I don't think for eight nights.
Pros:

Staff was extremely nice. Cleanliness was good.

Cons:

My room was supposed to be smoke free, but upon entrance, every time, I smelled an old smoking odor.
Also, at the price I paid, the room was small. And...I had no refrigerator and the microwave was community. When I inquired about at least a refrigerator, I was told I would've had to let them know I needed one when I made my reservations. What?

Pros:

Good location. very pretty there

Cons:

We had what we thought was a lake view room but was a lakeside room. There was no view as the trees were in the way. No bar or dining room so set your expectations

Very relaxing serene quiet vaycay with beautiful views and walk friendly suitable for older people t
Pros:

The breakfast was good but I was not sure if it was included so I asked the chef and he said it was free. The front desk said it was not free to pay when you walked in. There were enough towels for the weekend stay !The windows opened for letting in fresh lake view air. Staff was friendly. Nice porches overlooking the lake. The Lambuth is the highest point on the lake so the walk from there around the lake was incredible. The little shops were fun but the pool is really special out on the lake.

Cons:

The toilet in room was slow to flush . It took 2-3 times to flush properly. The checkout was slow . The bathroom was so small the door opened inside covering up half of the sink front. So you had to move to the side to use the sink. Carpets throughout needed to be gone. Old and worn out.
