We have canceled 2 holiday reservations due to bed bugs found in our room. The hotel general mgr has declined to return phone messages. Staff has had major turnover and it’s lowered their service greatly. Used to be our go to several times a year for years, with the last 2-3 years renting multiple units. None of this mattered because, as I was told, paying thru a third party isn’t the same as being one of their Worldmark owners.

Clean room, great views. I was given an extra hour to check out, but they apparently didn’t tell the staff in the morning as promised. Checkout staff was rude about checkout time and I had to cite the name of the assistant manager to get her to back off. Normally everyone is very courteous—I stayed at these two properties 6 weeks this year— but I had a number of really bad service issues during my plus 2 weeks this time. Used to feel like my home away from home. Still the nicest location in Birch Bay.
