Church landing. Just stayed here and it's a holiday inn
 
The new owners have truly screwed this beautiful property up. It's optimized to make money by cutting back up keep, staff, service orientation and decor. They definitely got rid of the Adirondack style and replaced with generic furnishings , uncomfortable neds, no spa services no housekeeping staff. We checked in Sunday at 5 pm and several people ahead of us could not go to their room. The manager had to go make up the room. They switched our room to one on the ground floor that smelled like a misty basement. They also consolidated all checking for all hotels in metedith to church landing. The woman was nice enough but clueless. She was practiced at saying she was sorry.

Hearing most of the staff has moved on to the new hotel property on Winnisquam. A few other local businesses are currently retraining many do to departures of long time staff

Sorry to hear. My daughter's wedding was one of their first when they had been in full operation only a short time. Everything was superb. They even had one staff member assigned to be my personal go-fer for the day.

So is it correct to assume that the service has gone down and the prices have gone up?

How is the food there at the present time? I thought it was decent last time I stopped in for a meal (before Covid).

Do you mean the the Lake House Grille at church landing? That is a Common Man restaurant probably separate from the inn. It was fine a week ago.
