Rooms were cold, took hours to warm up from 60 to 68 and still felt like 60. Hot water was warm at best, didn’t last 5 minutes before it was cold. Bed was decent.

Although the staff was very helpful and apologetic, it could not overcome the fact that the Roku tv cut out every 5 minutes as did the Internet and there was no hot water. Unbearable especially as we had to stay inside due to severe cold snap. Staff said internet issues should be rectified in a couple weeks, upgrading the current 200 meg service, and they are saving for new water heater project, maybe to be done this summer.

The room smelled funky but we couldn't pinpoint it. No microwave, most uncomfortable bed and pillows (we all barely slept and woke up with aches), weird brown stains on the sheets (dont think it was cleaned from prior guest), gotta get ice from a nearby gas station, and no hot water, plus we heard every units water through our pipes. For over $200/night, it was a bad stay. I've slept better and got a microwave and hot water from motels half the price. Island Pond is beautiful but our family wouldn't stay here again. I personally felt unsanitary.

Under new owners...Room was clean and refreshed recently. Staff was friendly helpful and responsive. Unfortunately we ran out out of hot water the night we got there and also the next morning. The staff informed us they were in the middle of renovation and the water heaters were on the fix it list. They were kind enough to offer an reduced rate for the night. We got through it ok.
