At The Brewster Inn, travelers consistently praise the scenic lakeside setting, historic charm, spacious rooms, and friendly service, while noting the excellent but pricey restaurant, a basic continental breakfast, and occasional maintenance or cleanliness issues in some areas.
Guests note lakeside amenities such as outdoor seating and a dock (some even launched kayaks), though parking can be tight at peak dining times. Many appreciate the characterful Carriage House rooms and a generally quiet atmosphere. Best for travelers who value historic character and a relaxed setting over full-service frills.

It’s a beautiful property on the lake. Walkable to town and we kayaked off the dock at the Inn and had drinks on their dock overlooking the water. We ate dinner at the restaurant and it was excellent. It’s an old home converted to an Inn so the rooms are not handicapped accessible so know you’ll need to climb stairs. Breakfast was continental with selection of muffins, cereals, cheeses.

Nice place - really the only place to stay in Cazenovia. Great location on the lake. However, they miss the finer things. When we checked in for a 3 night stay we were told we need to change rooms after the first night. Not a big deal, but they did not really extend themselves in terms of the inconvenience. New room was nice, but the pop corn ceiling was cracked and chipped pretty bad from what was probably a leak that was repaired. Looked pretty gross. The Inn has a great restaurant. We eat there one night and had a really good meal. Down side is that the inn has limited parking to support non inn guests. When we returned one night, the only spot available was occupied by the 'parking attendant'. We politely asked him if he could move across the way so that we could park, he declined. We needed to wait around 15 minutes for someone to come out of the restaurant to get there spot. Also, please note that the breakfast is continental. No hot food. Dry food - cereal, energy bars, yogurt, fruit.

I travel often and must say that this was of my favorite stays anywhere in the country. This Inn on the lake has a beautiful back story. You will have to call to find out more. Beautiful rooms, very warm hosts, high end continental breakfast all added to our trip. There is indoor seating in the restaurant and outside seating overlooking the lake. We were originally booked into a room on the 3rd floor which was a challenge. They saw our struggle and gave us our choice of rooms on the 1st floor. Our room in the carriage house had a jacuzzi big enough for two which was very welcomed after a 10-hour drive.

Outdoor is beautiful. Lots of seating spots by the lake. Inside needs some upgrating but not too bad. Dinner was very expensive and food was average but not the worst. Breakfast was like regular motel breakfast. Quick things to grab. Parking was easy. Walkable distance from the town.

I love old homes that feel cozy and yet spacious. The Inn was also decorated for Christmas so that added to the warmth and cozy feel as well. Loved that every time we walked in the front door the wonderful smells from the kitchen were filling the air. Our room didn't overlook the lake, but the trees in front were still nice. The room had the requested roll away all made up for us which was great. My husband wanted for a larger toilet and I would have liked a sitting chair in our room. Since it was cold the outdoor seating by the lake wasn't available. I felt a little wanting of a place besides the restaurant to sit and read and look at the lake. Minor things really, We had a wonderful stay.

The location is beautiful, the restaurant outstanding, people friendly, but room 11 is in poor condition. There was a crack in the ceiling plaster falling in the middle of the room, the AC stopped working in the middle of the night, and there is one mirror between the in the room and bathroom Another mirror in the bedroom would be advantages.

We enjoyed Brester Inn's preserved style from early 1900's. Hotel's surrounding area was gorgeous including the lake side as well as beautiful parklike walkways. Rooms were large and very clean. Our room was cleaned very day. Morning breakfast included many different selections. Hotel's staff was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant and bar was very good. The only one thing we would ask for would be softer bed pillows. The pillows we had were very hard and too thick for comfortable sleep. We would recomment Brewster Inn to our friends.

Only reason for not getting full stars - the breakfast was extremely subpar even for continental. I've been to mid tier motels/hotels where the included continental is serve yourself hot food, waffle maker, etc. The options at this inn were minimal and not of great quality. It was also set up in a small area that was difficult to manage when other guests came in. I expected much better, especially when they have a full restaurant kitchen in house. This definitely needs to be improved, really not acceptable for this special of a location and the price to stay there. Almost makes me rate 3 stars. Otherwise, the place is beautiful. Our room was in the carriage home, second floor with cathedral ceilings and original exposed beams. It was huge, clean, and felt luxurious. Dinner at the in house restaurant was delicious, our server was great, and we had a perfect spot on the patio to watch the sunset over the lake. Would be appreciated if guests of the inn received even a 5% discount for meals considering most of the people that ate there were not actually staying at the inn.

We found the inn rather dirty. The rugs were worn and dirty. The wall paper was pealing off the bathroom wall and the room was not up to our expectations in light of the price which reflect a first rate hotel. Although the room was large it remained me more of a run of the mill interstate motel. I would never stay there again.

Beautiful property with tons of character and charm. Dining at the Brewster was delicious but incredibly expensive. We treated it as a once in a lifetime experience, so we indulged. Our room was gorgeous, but the bathroom smelled of urine and the sink never ran hot water.

I travel often and must say that this was of my favorite stays anywhere in the country. This Inn on the lake has a beautiful back story. You will have to call to find out more. Beautiful rooms, very warm hosts, high end continental breakfast all added to our trip. There is indoor seating in the restaurant and outside seating overlooking the lake.

We arrived on Christmas Eve and the hotel was technically shut but they had messaged us and made sure we got access to our room. The room was large and very comfortable. We were only there on night but would definitely book again and will consider doing so in the summer

It’s a beautiful property on the lake. Walkable to town and we kayaked off the dock at the Inn and had drinks on their dock overlooking the water. We ate dinner at the restaurant and it was excellent. It’s an old home converted to an Inn so the rooms are not handicapped accessible so know you’ll need to climb stairs. Breakfast was continental with selection of muffins, cereals, cheeses.

Outdoor is beautiful. Lots of seating spots by the lake. Inside needs some upgrating but not too bad. Dinner was very expensive and food was average but not the worst. Breakfast was like regular motel breakfast. Quick things to grab. Parking was easy. Walkable distance from the town.

Dining
The on-site restaurant earns repeated praise for quality, though several note high prices. In contrast, the included continental breakfast is basic and often described as minimal or understocked.

Nice place - really the only place to stay in Cazenovia. Great location on the lake. However, they miss the finer things. When we checked in for a 3 night stay we were told we need to change rooms after the first night. Not a big deal, but they did not really extend themselves in terms of the inconvenience. New room was nice, but the pop corn ceiling was cracked and chipped pretty bad from what was probably a leak that was repaired. Looked pretty gross. The Inn has a great restaurant. We eat there one night and had a really good meal. Down side is that the inn has limited parking to support non inn guests. When we returned one night, the only spot available was occupied by the 'parking attendant'. We politely asked him if he could move across the way so that we could park, he declined. We needed to wait around 15 minutes for someone to come out of the restaurant to get there spot. Also, please note that the breakfast is continental. No hot food. Dry food - cereal, energy bars, yogurt, fruit.

Only reason for not getting full stars - the breakfast was extremely subpar even for continental. I've been to mid tier motels/hotels where the included continental is serve yourself hot food, waffle maker, etc. The options at this inn were minimal and not of great quality. It was also set up in a small area that was difficult to manage when other guests came in. I expected much better, especially when they have a full restaurant kitchen in house. This definitely needs to be improved, really not acceptable for this special of a location and the price to stay there. Almost makes me rate 3 stars. Otherwise, the place is beautiful. Our room was in the carriage home, second floor with cathedral ceilings and original exposed beams. It was huge, clean, and felt luxurious. Dinner at the in house restaurant was delicious, our server was great, and we had a perfect spot on the patio to watch the sunset over the lake. Would be appreciated if guests of the inn received even a 5% discount for meals considering most of the people that ate there were not actually staying at the inn.

We had a wonderful stay! The facility was very nice; we had clean room, with a comfortable mattress, and all of the staff were terrific. We had a delicious meal at the restaurant Saturday evening. Information for folks considering a stay. Keep in mind this is not a bed and breakfast with homemade breakfast, but rather an Inn, with a full and wonderful Continental breakfast. It may be difficult for folks with bad knees; the guest rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floor, although someone will help with luggage. Also if there's an event parking may be tight. These are certainly not breakers, this is one of the nicest Inns we've stayed at! We had such a great experience and enjoyed the sunset over the lake!
