    great location
    friendly staff
    good breakfast
    no lift access
    slow cleaning service

    we had a really nice time at the log inn! the location is super, just a short walk to the waterfront and lotsa good restaurants. the breakfast was actually good, with plenty of choices to start the day off right. loved the comfy room we had, and the wooden decor gives off such a cool vibe. staff were friendly and super helpful, makin us feel welcome!

    the shower over the bath felt kinda unsafe, and there was no lift so carrying our bags up stairs was a pain. also, the cleaning service was a bit inconsistent, sometimes our room wasn’t done till late.

    pool area, wooden architecture, spacious family room

    No lift access up two flights of stairs!!! Housekeeping service time left us unable to rest until late afternoons!!! After the check-out process, waiting 40 minutes felt excessive!!! It's a shame about the neglected attention to cleaning details!!!

    ideal base
    helpful staff
    delicious breakfast
    missing bar fridge

    Staying with my friends was awesome! The hotel was a perfect base for exploring the nearby forests and lagoon. We took a trip with Tony Cook Adventures, which was a blast! The location is close to restaurants and shops, making it easy to grab a bite. Parking was convenient, and the staff were super helpful. Don't miss out on the breakfast buffet, it was delicious!

    One thing that could be improved is the lack of bar fridges in the rooms. it would have been nice to keep drinks cool during our stay.

    outdoor pool

    would love to stay here again

    The room was a luxury one, had a nice private bathroom and a flat-screen TV. enjoyed the jacuzzi and hot tub, perfect for relaxing after a long day. The outdoor pool area was decent, and I loved the small patio with a view. Good amenities but a bit dated in decor.

    inconvenient access

    Cozy wood architecture and spacious rooms

    I had a wonderful stay, especially enjoying the warm, wooden ambiance of the hotel and the spacious setup of our room, which included a sitting area and ample desk space. The breakfast spread was extensive, catering to many tastes, making each morning delightful. The staff’s attentive service really enhanced our experience, particularly their willingness to assist with luggage. the lack of lift access was a bit inconvenient during our stay.

    nice pool
    central location
    good breakfast
    lengthy check-out
    poor housekeeping
    stairs access

    The stay at Log-Inn had some highlights and a few issues. The pool area provided a nice space to relax, and the location was quite central, making it easy to explore the area. The room I stayed in, a Luxury Room in Log-Inn Wing, unfortunately, had a couple of downsides. Climbing two flights of stairs without a lift every time was a bit exhausting. Housekeeping seemed to fall behind schedule, as my room was only serviced after 3 PM each day. the check-out process was lengthy, taking almost 40 minutes to sort out the account. While the staff was polite, the delay was frustrating. I appreciated the effort put into the breakfast, which had a good selection, but it was unfortunate that everything wasn’t available in both dining rooms. not the best experience due to these shortcomings, but there were redeeming features too.

    unique architecture

    Family with children Suitable

    The architecture blew my mind, it’s all wood and feels like stepping into a timeless space. I loved the stained glass windows in the lobby, really added character to the place and made for some great pics.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain,, but for what you get, I'd say it's reasonable.
