This property has a beautiful view but the room was dirty. Sliding door to balcony didn’t lock. Balcony screen was ripped. Window in bathroom was broken and taped together. Water in tub was gray. We moved the little table by the beds to plug in charger and was very dirty. Sheets had sand in them. We stayed one night, quick in and out.

There were bugs,flies, mosquitoes all over the room, including spider webs. The room looked like it was never cleaned. The water coming out of tap was black in color and when we asked front desk, they said its normal as its well water in city (this was a lie as we found out later that there is city water in all hotels). Requested for cancellation which was denied by both hotel and Expedia. Expedia does not help in this matter , which is sad and bad customer service to say the least.

I LOVED the ease of the shuttle to the docks. The staff was super friendly and nice. The little beach was so cute and perfect for a quiet little stay.. it was windy so we didn’t do a campfire but we listened to the waves all night. It was perfect .. Except for when our neighbors decided to feed the seagulls at 7am and it sounded like a seagull attack. Haha ! But still is a cute little spot. Needs some updating and plumbing was a little weird. But would definitely stay again.

The room we requested 2 Queen beds on the water front was not available, instead we were given a small house which was under rehab repair, not completed, many things not completed too many to go into details. Had to ask for everything. TV's not plugged in or working-repair man came out about 10:30 pm to fix them. No trash pick up after first night.

It was a cheep motel that was super overpriced. Great location and view of the bridge. Room not so good. Motel itself not so good. Delay in check-in by 1 hour due to being understaffed and toom not being clean. I liked that it was dog friendly, had firepits and was in the ideal location for our trip.

Room was clean, fair price, great location. Loved having a room with balcony overlooking the lake, it was worth the extra money for the view I would definitely stay here again Only negatives were: ice machine was not working, pool did not appear swimmable to me

Not Worth the Price

Not worth the price. Several little things could have been done to improve the place such as replacing the old mismatched plastic balcony chairs, sweeping the balcony, cleaning the glass doors. There was no hair dryer, iron, instructions for the WiFi and the unusual shower set up. We've stayed at many better rooms for half the price. The view was very nice and the pictures are just nice enough to make it appear better than it is.

Long story short, the first person I dealt with was rude and stuck us in a smelly room not much bigger than the closet in our bedroom. The second person was very polite and moved us into a great room in another building. On checkout I was forced to deal with the rude attitude when I asked for a receipt and was given a piece of paper that indicated that I had a balance. My trip was for business. How would it look if I handed the company a receipt saying I didn’t pay? This guy should never have access to the public. I will not be visiting any of the properties owned by this company because of his actions and attitude.

The view from the rooms is great. Firepit and beach very nice! The room has been updated nicely (cottage like)… except the bathroom in room! I can deal with the bathroom being old but the cleaners need to clean it better. I also suggest a broom in each room for the sand that is brought in from the beach. The beds have had their day… clean but they need replaced. People on upper level can be heard through the floor all night if they move alot. The manager is awesome though!!! Super friendly!!!! I would go back all in all.

The floor was very sticky and filthy. There was trash on the floor under the table... not good for dogs or children. The ice machine was broken and according to the people next door who had been there all week it was broken when they got there. The pool had been drained so... there was no pool. On the positive side it was right on the water and the first floor rooms had great porches!
