The owner was friendly.. turned on the cable box for me.. tightened the toilet seat but i think it was too far gone to fix and later in the night it fell right off! It was an OK place...i thought it was in Gaylord but…

KathleenNice Stay
Cute mom & pop. Owners friendly. Everything very clean. Shower is VERY small, but I doubt my 6'4" 250 lbs boyfriend would fit for a decent shower, Beds were hard and pillows flat, but if that is your preference, then…

Questions about The Waters Inn
What time is check-in and check-out at The Waters Inn?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Waters Inn allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Waters Inn?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does The Waters Inn have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does The Waters Inn have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The Waters Inn?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
