Clean and comfortable roomsFriendly staffGood breakfast
VeraWe stayed at Friends Lake Inn hoping for a relaxing getaway, but this visit was very disappointing. Upon arrival, the hotel was completely empty — no staff at the front desk, no note or key left for us, and no response…
LindaUnited StatesClean, perfectly nice room, though there was no soap and no real surface for putting things on.
The breakfast was good.
Noisy people outside the room in the morning and evening.
KarenUnited StatesWe were up for a wedding so we never got a chance to experience the dinning and bar area of the inn. It looked lovely.
Quaint and charming Inn.
Lighting in the room was very dark.
