This is a lovely, historical inn with some unique features. The staff is very warm and friendly, the restaurant serves a great breakfast and you have beautiful views of the lake from the back of the property. However, the inn could use a little updating in some areas. For example, the floors were extremely creaky to the point that just shifting your weight caused a loud creak! Overall, a very nice place to stay.

Nothing a old very old house/ converted Hotel yet hestiate on not just calling it a motel. There are hundreds of cheaper options for the quailty of service that we had, but also i blame Exedia because i booked the Stafford Perry Hotel not the Stafford inn. 38yr wedding annver pretty much wrecked because of us wanting high end and being charged high end but yet have stayed at nicer motel 6 units before.
