Nicer than I expected
I travel often and came to the Lake Country Inn as a last minute visitor to the area. I have stayed in hotels around the world, and this hotel is definitely not one of the top places I have been to.
That being said, the price was perfect, especially since I was a last minute visitor to the area. Also, what the hotel did not provide (room service, etc) it made up for with hospitality. I found the staff to be professional, yet friendly, making me feel at home. I had some problems with finding my way around to meet clients, so the receptionist at the hotel helped me out immensely by giving me accurate directions to enable me to travel the roads around Lake Oconomowoc.
My room was spacious, with an air-conditioner that provided respite from an unusually warm fall weekend. The hallway did smell of smoke, though, which is inconvenient for a non-smoker. The refrigerator kept my snacks cool, and the television provided just enough of a distraction from my work to allow me to relax a bit.
If you are looking for the St. Regis, this is not the place. If you need an economical place to stay in Wisconsin, then this is it.
