Mendota Lake House Inn

今年10月份開始裝修了！確實應該裝修了，不過房子非常有歷史的沉澱感！

This is a peaceful retreat with a lovely lake view. We stayed in the Walt Whitman room, which I chose because it has a balcony. The room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast was a very enjoyable continental, with scones, organic yogurt, and mini quiche. The coffee was strong and flavorful.

I enjoyed my stay at the Mendota Lake House B&B. I stayed here by myself while on a business trip. I stayed in the Walt Whitman room, which has a private balcony looking out at the lake. The homemade scones in the morning were delicious and I enjoyed with coffee and cheese samples. I left before the egg bites were put out, so I cannot speak to those. It is an old house, so you will hear creaking and people walking around. Only has stairs to upstairs rooms/floors, so it will be an issue if you have mobility problems. I specifically stayed here for the balcony room and enjoyed the view from the balcony and in the room. If you know that it will be different than a modern hotel and like the B&B type of places, you will like it here. Pros: view, location away from downtown and on the lake, small breakfast included (yummy scones), lower cost, free parking, and beautiful gardens. Cons: uncomfortable bed, old house creaky noises (especially stairs), and location of showerhead in the double person jet tub.

When I say DUMP, I am insulting most land fills. We wanted to spend a couple of nights away and have enjoyed our stays in this area in the past. The room we stayed in advertises a queen bed however, the photo shows, I believe only a full. The bed also tilted heads down and sunk towards the middle. This was the worse two nights sleep we have ever had at a B&B. The owners use Covid as an excuse not to interact with their guest. They also ask that you wear a mask however, they do not do so. In addition, when my bride said hello to one of them and asked how he was he just grunted at her! We stayed on the third floor but beware the banister at the top is loose and if you grab on to steady yourself, be prepared for the jerking motion. The room itself was disgusting and as you can see from the attached. When they say continental breakfast, they put out 3 bagels, 4 English muffins, the most disgusting scones I have ever had the misfortune to taste, and would not bring more butter out when I mentioned it was empty! They have a hot water machine for tea, however I had to bring water from one end of the main floor one glass at a time in order to make a cup. It would appear that the proprietor has lost all interest in their business and have failed to keep it up. Do yourself a solid and stay at a Holiday Inn Express.
