"Phone did not work. Floors in room were very dirty. Its dark wood, so you cant see it. But after wiping it, the wipes turned black. It seem to not be mopped at all. Other than those concerns, the room was okay and spacious."

"Our cabin was wonderful. For the most part the room was in good repair, but overall the property needs a little TLC as a whole. Our housekeeper, Trev, made sure the room was clean, and the front desk was helpful in providing recommendations for restaurants and getting to the ferry. Parking was a bit interesting in front of the cabins. Would stay here again, especially with kids (they enjoyed the floorplan)."

8/10 Good
"The placement off the beach and being close to ferry for island transport was great. The ferry shuttle people were great. Definitely need better staff at desk. Hotel itself needs maintenance and upgrades. Size of our double bedroom was great, but again some maintenance, cleaning and upgrades definitely needed. Including the balcony that was full up of spiders and webs. Just a quick sweep could’ve taken care of it. I would definitely stay in the same beach area, but a different hotel. Other hotels on that beach access looked better maintained."
