Above and beyond service

Forgetting I left my lights on, my battery naturally died. The staff immediately helped me and the manager went home to locate jumper cables - hospitality personified. I’m grateful to the Washburn Inn folks for their wonderful service that went above and beyond.

Liked: Cleanliness
While thus property is “”technically” on the lake, there were no lakefront or even lakeview rooms. Our room was SO hot when we arrived, even though the room had been assigned ahead of time. The front desk person was almost rude, certainly not welcoming. The facility, although clean, obviously was “updated” from a Super8, or another chain. There was no breakfast offered. For $164 a night, during the week, after Labor Day but before fall colors, it was disappointing.
