Excellent Stay – Highly Recommend

“My husband and I stayed at the Water Tower Inn for 3 nights and had an awesome time. We selected the all-inclusive package and it was well worth the money. The breakfast selection was excellent – we had 3 different breakfasts and each one was delicious and the dinner menu was also very good. We used the pool / hot tub each night ….covid protocols were in place and made us feel very safe. We dealt with staff at the front desk, restaurant, pool and house keeping and EVERYONE was so friendly….we would highly recommend this hotel.”
