We were pretty disappointed in our first stay at Shaheen's. Upon arrival, the sign on the office…read moredoor said contactless checkin, and every guest was emailed the info. So I checked my email and had nothing from them. Thankfully someone walked in the office and asked if I needed help. They said it was a text, not an email. I didn't receive a text either. He looked up my info and the text was sent to my home phone number. So he told me my door code. I couldn't remember that code all weekend, so I had to look it up on my phone every time, I'd rather have a key. Also, he didn't tell me how to enter it, but I figured it out. My husband had more trouble when he tried lol. Every time. That keypad is very very touchy. And the kids next door, fighting over who gets to enter the code, yelled it several times. So now the whole parking lot knows their code. I guess Shaheen's is doing a lot of remodeling. I think we had a new room? But I'm not sure if it's finished. The ceilings are painted black, trying to look elegant I suppose, but looks kinda creepy. Many white paint drips / smears everywhere, unfinished carpentry, chips on the freshly painted door. New beautiful bathroom has a large sink but it's completely flat and stuff doesn't rinse down without a ton of effort. Toilet roll is a far stretch to reach. Toilet seat is sharp, really high, and uncomfortable. I know I'm sounding picky here but it was a lot. There is zero soundproofing. Thank goodness we needed the air conditioner, it helped drown out noises from neighbors and construction. For some reason, there was a man sitting in a truck, right below our back window, smoking and playing music loudly. Two nights in a row. Not sure if he was a guest or a worker or what. Public water in the area must be brownish yellow because the new toilet always looked dirty. I noticed the same water in the lobby Keurig machine. I believe the ice machine has a filter because the ice looked clear. As we were leaving, we noticed a little old lady with oxygen was having trouble getting in her door. We watched for a few minutes then asked if she needed help. She told us her door code and we showed her how to do it, but now we have her code. So dangerous if we were the type to take advantage, thankfully we're not. The only plus - my motherinlaw called the hotel to ask if they had any amenities she could purchase for our wedding anniversary. The man said no, but he'd be happy to go get whatever she wanted. She suggested champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. He said he had to go to the store anyways, and he'd make it happen. She called the night before to make sure everything worked out, and he said he forgot! Jeez! He ended up getting a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates from Adirondack Chocolates, and even a card. A very nice touch! But we definitely won't be back.

Glad there was Wi-Fi, microwave, and fridge with freezer. Having recently come off surgery, I had requested a ground floor which was granted with ease. My stay was quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was available at 8:00 am--simple but appetizing foods, drinks, buns, wrapped energy bars, coffee, etc. All good. A few days after I departed, I realized I left two chargers in the room. I got in touch with Jesse at the desk. He volunteered to pack and ship them using my on-file credit card for postage. Within a week or so, my chargers arrived. Needless to say, excellent customer service! If I return to the conference next year, I will likely book my stay at Shaheen's.

The biggest issues were no screens in the windows, lack of hot water in the shower, and a deadbolt that would not lock from the inside so we felt unsafe at night. Somehow the sink water got very hot but the shower was lukewarm at best. The pool shown in photos was not operational and we were not given a WIFI password for the advertised free WiFi. I don't like to leave a negative review, but I don't want other people to book a stay here with high expectations. I will say the bed was very comfortable. But at $350 for a two night stay, I was very disappointed and would have rather gone tent camping.

It is close to the state boat launch which we hung out at on their dock even though we didn't have a boat. There is also a city pump house right on the water very close, easy walk, and for sunset we brought our wine and blanket and chilled out there with no problem for a few hours. Very close to a big boat rental place (non motorized) and a lot of the people staying here were renting kayaks or canoes for day trips.

The owners were very friendly, rate was very reasonable (about $50 for the night) and we stayed in the "animal cottages" with our cat. The room was spartan but functional with a great lakeview. The only downside was finding a flea on the cat; he is treated with flea-preventive so it didn't concern me too much but other bug-scared folks might not like it! Anyway, I guess that's why it's sensible to have separate rooms away from the hotel for people with animals! Overall, great place, economical, friendly.
