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.

Check-in is across the parking lot at a gas station. You have to wait in line with gas station customers. Rooms were dated and noisy. The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.

ok so, the reservations guy...so helpful and accommodating so he gets an A...the facilities in the room are poor. we have stayed in many motels all over New England and they all offered mini fridge, coffee maker and coffee and microwave..;like its standard and those place were much cheaper in cost so that was the let down for us.

I will be back its just what i needed. The amount of solitude and beauty was perfect. Room was basic but it was perfect for the price. I would suggest some mattress pads beds are a little springy. There was no microwave or coffee maker. But there was an irving 10 feet away.

Our GPS took us right to the property, but it was confusing that the sign said Lakefront Inn, not Island Pond Country Inn, and a sign in the window said check in at the Irving Gas station next door. Same with filling ice bucket, and checkout. No problem, just confusing.

Very disappointing. You cannot find the motel since they changed the name because new ownership and no street number evident to know if you're at the right place. There's no one available to check you in and they do not answer the telephone. So I had to walk around the village at 8:30 night time and ask someone who happen to know that I have to pick up the room key at the gas station from the attendant. Its very stressful if you show up late at night as there are no other hotels in this remote region.

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.

Location to pond was nice. The room was very disappointing. If you sat on the end of the bed, the mattress was so thin that it came off the frame. When you entered into the room, it had a bad odor. When I booked the room through expedia, it stated that it had a microwave and it didn't. It also did not hava a coffee maker. We (2 people) stayed for 2 nights, and we were given two full sized towels and two washcloths, so we had to reuse the towels. For the price I paid for this room it should have been more accomadating and updated!
