I don't know about the hotel accommodations, but the Winter Inn is out for us when it comes to dining.
Went for dinner tonight, with a recommendation to try their "signature dish," the walleye. OMG. What a mistake. The fish was both overdone and tasteless. Even adding fresh lemon, salt and pepper didn't help. I don't know what they had done to the poor fish, but it was so awful our cat wouldn't touch the large portion I dragged home for him. Smart cat!
My spouse's beer battered cod was equally gruesome. The cat voted "no" on it, too.
Her French fries were also icky, but my asparagus was fine. For $18, I didn't think the six asparagus stalks made up for the terrible walleye. Both of our side salads passed muster, but the little loaf of wheat bread was nearly microwaved to death and the whipped "butter" was another low note.
The waitress calling me "honey" 26 times during the meal did nothing to lift my gustatory spirits.
Unless you're starving, don't be tempted by the Winter Inn's cozy ambiance. It sucks. read more
