Super cute property and was perfect for what we needed. This is not a 5 star resort, but it’s great for a little getaway. Staff was absolutely fantastic.

Everything was good. Specially room was comfortable and clean.
The Management was great. Looking forward to possibly staying there in the future. They were able to answer all of my questions, assist with what was needed and always friendly. The room was one of the updated beachfront two queen beds room. It was spacious and had a great view. Access to the beach was amazing for the warmer hours of the day. Everything was within walking distance of the hotel so we didn't have to worry about parking downtown.
Nice and respectful front desk lady. building is good remodel but the pool is too bad. thank you

Nice property with a good view of the beach. Room was very nice and freshly remodeled. The only issues I had were my tv did not work at all. And the splash pad/ waterpark area was closed. Overall we had a nice stay at the property.
The hotel is in a good location. The room was remodeled but the furniture very outdated. The room had a lot of bugs when we checked in (mosquitoes and flies)
Room was large enough for three adults, accommodation in good location
Bedding was dirty and sockets hanging off the wall It looked if they had just put new cladding on the wall and had not bothered to fix the sockets properly Price we payed matched the room
This was best and worst! Best was access to lake, Viewing fireworks on Sat. Pool, shuttle to docks and front office help for restaurants. Worst was ADA (Amer. Disability Act) total disreguard. Facility was recently renovated. Manager was very proud she got facility up and running one year early...well they never foundmy room had no microwave, coffee pot
We had problems when checking in. And the hall to our room was filthy. The screen on our room's door was broken open. The ceiling to the bath leaked. We were reluctantly offered another room, but we canceled our reservation and moved next door to The Clarion, which was the best thing that happened.

We found hair all over the bathroom and on the beds in the room. Toilet paper roll was empty. Room had a musty smell when we first arrived. Room has not been updated in a very long time. Bed felt like i was sleeping on a piece of plywood.
The room was also never cleaned during our stay.
