I initially planned on just grabbing a few pastries from their dessert counter, but ended up ordering chocolate chip pancakes to go. As I talked to the nice girl who rang me up, she suggested the pumpkin cookies and the brookie. I bought those as well to share with my mom. I can honestly say everything tasted so good! The pancakes were large and fluffy. The brookie was delicious, but the pumpkin cookies were the star of the show. Can't wait to go back and try more of their baked goods!

The service is skilled and efficient, the people-watching unparalleled, and the portions are enormous for the listed price. Figure two meals for the listed price, and it seems a better deal!

Our service was great, water glasses were full & there was a coffee carafe on the table. The waitress came around with decaf coffee and to see if there was anything else someone needed to drink. The place is cute and family friendly. You enter through a long driveway and pass a pond that has carved bear statue's fishing before reaching the ample parking lot.

The room: peeling wallpaper, chipped paint, cracks in the floor and cracks in the ceiling, and floors so warped it's like a little skate park. The shower is small and dingy, also unlit. There's a light over the sink, but it's doesn't really reach the shower, especially with the shower curtain closed. The concert let out around 10:30, and we took a stroll around the grounds to skip rocks and look at constellations. When we got back to the hotel, bar closed. 11 on a Saturday night. Also no food to be had. Sunday morning continental breakfast was paltry at best. Even the coffee sucks, watery and tasteless. All this for the bargain price of about $400/night. For two of the crappiest double beds I've ever slept on. All that money is for the location.

Grant, Teddy Roosevelt, and Bill Clinton walked and stayed. We had a fantastic room at the end on the 2nd floor. It had been updated (see photos) and had a great view of the lake. There was even a charming porch area outside the room. The front desk staff were very polite, helpful, and quick to address issues. We loved our maid, too. She took care of our every need and made sure our room was cleaned properly. At the end of our visit, we asked her what some of her favorite rooms in the hotel were. She showed us each room and we reserved one for our 2025 visit. NOTE: I see that some of the less-than-stellar reviews knock the hotel for its restaurant, The Heirloom Restaurant. I agree that the food and service at the Heirloom are not that great and don't meet expectations for such a grand hotel. But I shared that in a separate 3-star review for the restaurant.

I wasn't in charge of the group and didn't know if the leader had warned of our arrival. The waitress said "No" she didn't know 20 people were showing up. She was a little flustered for about 30 seconds, but quickly regrouped. There was plenty of seating in the bar side of the restaurant. A few others arrived and we distributed the 20 rolls of tableware and 20 menus she brought to us. As more arrived, she brought a tray of 20 coffee cups and several bowls of little cream cups. We passed those around and soon she produced two pots of coffee which she quickly poured into our cups. We offered to pour the coffee for her, but she wouldn't let us. Then she brought 20 water glasses and a couple of pitchers of water. More folks not in our party came in and she would magically seat them and get their coffee. She efficiently took our 20 orders and within about 15 or 20 minutes, started bring out platefuls of food! I had an omelet, hash browns and toast and my order was perfect, hot and tasted excellent. When we were all done, she quickly produced 20 checks! This woman was spectacular! We were in no hurry since it was cold and raining outside and we were staying at High Pines RV Park. We told her we had all the time in the world. We had planned to cook our own breakfast, but the weather was just nasty. In slightly over 90 minutes, our bellies were happily full and our checks were all paid (and I believe most, if not all of us left 50-100% tips). I cannot recommend this place highly enough. I don't know how many were cooking in the back, but they(?) we're amazing as well. And as far as I know everyone in the restaurant was quickly served and fed. There was one other waitress on the cafe side. If you're ever northeast of Kane on Route 219/Route 6, please stop in and give this place your business. You won't be sorry!

Sadly she never gave us her name, I finally got it when she set the check down. I had the double cheeseburger and lord it was good. My only concern was the side. I asked for the Caesar salad and when it sat down, it was a kale Caesar salad. I don't eat kale but our server took care of it. The restaurant has a great vibe and very friendly. The tables were close but far enough that you could hear murmurs of conversations, but nit what was actually being said.

I had their eggs Benedict and found them to be exceptional and the side of fries I had with it to really be superior not only in taste but in flavor and texture as well. The decor is rather blah, but it's basically a diner, so pretty much what I would expect. And being in Warren, a parking lot full of pickup trucks. LOL!

The overall experience was underwhelming for the price (but that's understandable for the issues in the country atm). Because it was a special occasion and it happened to be friday, I treated myself to the fish fry (I usually avoid it since my husband hates the smell of seafood). It was an impressively sized piece of fish with a teensy cup of tartar sauce. It was then that I realized I hadn't asked if they used sweet or dill pickles in their sauce. I tasted it, it was sweet (ugh!), so I asked for some malt vinegar to try and substitute flavor. I really tried to eat and enjoy my meal, I used the vinegar, as much as I could squeeze out of the lemon and eventually a sprinkle of salt to give it some vibrancy. The problem was, without a good sauce, I couldn't get over how unpleasant the batter was and how flavorless the fish was (plus the inner layer of the batter was also unpleasant mushy). Eventually (about four bites in, the piece of fish is still larger than my plate), my husband remarks that there is no reason for me to force myself to choke down what I found truly disgusting. I relent and give the waitress my plate, explaining I just can't eat it and I don't have an appetite now for any replacement so I'll just wait for everyone else to finish. All of that wasn't even the main issue. After we get our check, I see a $11.Something charge I didnt understand. I ask for clarification by the older lady running checkout. It turns out it wasn't "$11" but a poorly written "4" that was the addon for my daughter's fries. (Wasn't aware that a $12 sandwich didn't come with fries for less than almost $5 but, I guess that's our bad for not checking the menu when the waitress asked if she wanted fries with it...fries that were just previously frozen blah things with no seasoning that my daughter didn't even eat, but again, that's a cost of going out I guess?) Finally, I gently bring up asking about some sort of discount off my $15+ meal as I could not eat the entree. I never asked for it to be comped, I opened with a suggestion of a discount because I had eaten the side of fruit and mashed potatoes. The lady acted as if I was insulting her and/or trying to score a free meal. She explained how it wasn't their fault if I didn't like the taste of their tartar sauce. I was confused and flabbergasted for a moment. Admittedly, I didn't point out how I had struggled to attempt to eat the fish despite the tartar sauce issue and still couldn't stomach it. I doubt it would have mattered, she likely would have said it was my fault because it wouldn't be the resturant's problem I physically couldn't choke down their nasty breading. I was so upset that my rare treat had turned out this way and put a rain cloud over the rest of my day in Cuba. Because I have neurological problems and issues with confrontation, I couldn't think clearly or argue after essentially being told it wasn't the resturant's responsibility that I was "too picky". So I just asked my husband to pay quickly and hurried out before I started to cry in the resturant. I suppose this could be my fault for not fully explaining how disgusting I found their food, but I thought that would be impolite feedback surrounded by customers. The tartar sauce (which the 1/3 of a shotglass size of dip wouldn't have even been appropriate for the size of fish even if it hadn't been sweet pickles) seemed a more polite excuse than saying their breading and fish was physically inedible. I didn't try to have it replaced or cause a scene, yet I still feel like I was being treated like I was trying to "get one over" on them. The salted caramel milkshake was very tasty tho?
