Very good stay. Good evening meal and a good brunch, both at Encore. In-room Jacuzzi didn't work, but that's a minor complaint. I believe they will fix promptly. Thanks to everyone there.

Such a quaint property with a lot of character. Dining room served good food. It really was a lovely place to stay and the bed was soooo comfortable. Loved it. I didn’t like the double deposit I was charged (extra $100) after asking them if I needed to pay anything before I arrived and heard nothing back from them.

What a beautiful place to escape to! Unfortunately we were not there for pleasure, but when we are able to enjoy a getaway this property was worth it! Communication before my stay was easy & formal, especially with arranging them to pick me up from the airport. Close to everything you need if you don’t want to stay right in the heart of downtown, maybe that was part of why it made it special. Prices were a little expensive, like for breakfast being $30 was a little jarring. The property, room & ambiance was well worth it. If you are looking for somewhere outside of the city but close enough to go there if you wanted to everyday, this is the place. Thank you Expedia!

Very clean property, the staff were very friendly.. only downfall is we booked this hotel because of the airport shuttle but it only runs from 7am-11pm so we weren’t able to use it as our flight back was earlier then the time it ran.

The Inn is located on a nice lake. Its close to the airport but in a nice quiet area. The restaurant and bar food is a little pricey compared to other places, but the food and atmosphere are very nice. The room we were in is in the old part of the hotel, so a little worn but nice and quiet. The only drawback is all the stairs to navigate with suitcases, but thats how it goes with an older building.
