Very little to no staff around. One night we were literally the only people there. Very limited breakfast they had instant oatmeal but there was no hot water in the electric tea kettle
Room service traded out dirty towels for clean but it was obvious it was made with no care or concern making the bed, they just barely pulled the covers up they were crumpled and messy and threw the pillows on. Don’t expect 5 star service because you barely even get 3 star service. For the price we will go somewhere else….

The building and grounds looked nice. Our stay was disappointing. Staff did not interact with us in any way. Not sure if they were there. There was an event the night we arrived and a wedding party coming in as we left. We felt like awkward guests in someone else's stay. We checked ourselves into our room--no waters, no glasses, no ice, no ice bucket, no fan, no microwave, no mini fridge. The mini split (a/c or heat) did not work. We spent at least 45 minutes trying to get any kind of air moving in the room. The breakfast was not worth mentioning. I believe it's listed as continental but it was really nothing to speak of. And with a restaurant space right there, I thought they might have come up with just a few real food items. I felt nothing but regret for booking a not-cheap room with zero amenities. We should have just stayed at a motel and at least had a glass of water.

I wanted to like this place, having had good experiences at bed-and-breakfast type places before, but this place lacked the things that set b&bs apart. The was zero hospitality - no one there to check us in, no one at the desk when we came down in the morning for breakfast. The breakfast was not worth eating. Single-serving cereal (Special K and Frosted Flakes) and some plain bagels in plastic wrap. There was no place to get water. No real coffee cups - just plastic. There was no staff around to ask questions or get help. It felt more like a motel with antiques than anything else.

We absolutely LOVED our stay here. We stayed for one night to attend a family wedding nearby in aurora, and we were in love with the springside. The rooms are adorable, just our style, and the entire property is gorgeous. The vintage style is so fun and comfy, and it’s very clean and well taken care of.
It was a huge bonus that it’s close to the lake because I’m a runner and there was lots of beautiful scenery as I did my five mile run this morning.
If I could give the inn 10 stars I would, we will never stay anywhere else when we’re visiting family in the area. Thank you springside for making our trip so special!

Two Night Stay

This seems like a great place for a function. The grounds are very nice. If you stay in a standard room, do not expect a lot. I agree with the review that said the windows are filthy. The sheets appeared to be clean, but were stained which wasn't appealing. Maybe it was a Monday, but the service was non existant and do not expect much from the \"continental\" breakfast. If you put a \"do not disturb\" sign on the door, don't be surprised if you get a knock at the door with someone offering you towels! The hosts did not introduce themselves when present. Although the man was nice, I can't say the same for the woman.

This property, after speaking to the owner the day we left, is a 150 year old building. It is very nostalgic, with creeky floors/stairs. We actually had a key to the room, not a credit card scanner to enter. The staff was amazing, bringing water/coffee up to the third floor to our room. They don’t “technically” have a bar for serving the guests, but because they had a “special event” going on at the same time, they sent their “bartender” to the bar to serve us!!!! JJ was his name, and he’s a hoot! Very good personality! We loved him! We had a “nightcap drink”, and retired to our room. The rooms aren’t BIG, and ours didn’t even have a microwave or fridge, but they did have furniture close to the timeframe of the building itself. Felt like we were staying in a place from George Washington era. That’s okay too! It was a blast from the past! We liked it.

Note - this if you are lodging here. It seems it has newer owners who are making an effort to provide a great guest experience. However, the floors need better attention. It was clean but not as clean as I have experienced in other B&B's. The pillows weren't very comfortable. It should also be noted that continental breakfast is that at a bare minimum. But, for the price and the area you are in I don't have an issue with that. Just something to note. The rooms are lovely. I think if they just hit a couple of details it will be an excellent place to stay.

Nice property and beautiful rooms. However lack of amenities makes it uncomfortable. No bottled water in the room and no one to ask as there is no one at the desk; no coffee. Only 1 bottle of shampoo,nothing else. Very small soaps, and water in the sink just drips. I’ll have to test the shower tomorrow. 2 cheap plastic cups. Tiny bathroom. Can’t even move there. No place in bathroom to place our belongings. We haven’t had their continental breakfast yet.
This hotel is NOT EXCELLENT like you advertise. Maybe 3 stars at best.

We were in town for a nearby event, and booked a room at the charming Springside Inn. We love historical properties, and I could tell right away that this location is beloved by many. They host weddings (my career) and had a bridal shower, a live dinner and dance show, and were preparing for Easter brunch when we checked out. We had a tranquil and private room upstairs with the cutest vintage decor, and a massive soaking bathtub. The view of the terrace and forest behind the building was nice and soothing, and we never heard a peep the whole time we stayed there. You would NEVER know they had any events on the property; they must have fantastic soundproofing. I'm not being sarcastic, we honestly had a silent room. We'd love to come and visit again during the summer to try boating on the lake across the street. We enjoyed and highly recommend.

We had a continental breakfast each morning and were given information about nearby restaurants and attractions. This was a base to explore the area. We stayed on the third floor, which is reached by stairs. The inn was quiet except for the creak of those stairs and we spent pleasant evenings playing cards in the common areas.

This is a quaint Inn in the Finger Lakes where we once had stayed previously and due to the location and are enjoying the day we went again en route a road trip. Although we did not mind having the room key left in an envelope at the front door with an entry code because we arrived at 7:30 PM it was disappointing that no one was there when we left in the morning at 9:30
The building the room and the grounds are quaint, but needing much love- Including an interior paint job, Repair to the wallpaper, And the new mattress which is very soft and uncomfortable

Old 1800's house in a beautifully manicured setting not too far from the lake. Very quiet. We were met by a young woman who was very welcoming and friendly. We had a nice room with period style decor and a big king size bed (what we generally look for). The air conditioning unit was very quiet which was a nice change from the norm. Fridge and coffee station set up was nice.
Overall it was clean except for the wood floors which were very sticky and loud when you walked on them. Don't know if they just cleaned up after a huge juice spill or just not rinsed properly. It was loud enough to disturb someone's sleep. The throw rugs were very dirty as was the couch and chairs. A 90's couch (I have a similar one so I recognize the age) just really dirty and would benefit from a steam cleaning.
It's a 7 room inn so that would be possible in the off season. I mean, everything's possible.
Overall, the room was pleasant (bed not so comfortable but better than a lot that trip) just needs a deep clean.

The only negative (and this IS NO FAULT to the inn) that I can say is that there was a wedding party downstairs and when people came up the stairs (which were right next to our room) to use the restroom, they were very inconsiderate of the fact that guests were staying there and possibly trying to sleep. They were just very loud.
