Buccaneer Inn

Buccaneer Inn

8/10 Good
"On the positive, mattresses were comfortable and made very nicely. Kitchen well equipped. On the less positive, If you are a light sleeper, don't select the bedroom facing the street, feels like cars are driving by in the same room. We had 5 guests but the dining room offered only 3 chairs. I wouldn't recommend turning on the fans, as the top of the blades were very dusty. Housekeeping only does surface cleaning. Pleasant stay overall. Would recommend to others."

8/10 Good
"It was definitely a great price. A little dated and squishy, but everything was nice and clean and there was a communal kitchen with a fridge and freezer where I could store my food. The room and amenities were good for my very basic needs and pocketbook. Free nearby parking included."

Inn On Long Lake

Inn On Long Lake

8/10 Good
"The room was clean, lake view was nice , but no sink in the kitchenette area, had to use the bathroom sink to fill the coffee maker, air conditioner was a little noisy at times, complimentary breakfast was skimpy as they could of had more products, as soon as an item was out, that was it., so if you weren't there right when it opened, you pretty much got what ever was left"
