Clean room and bathroom, mini fridge was noisy, and fireplace didn't work (or we couldn't figure out how). Pool looked cloudy so we didn't partake and the beach was rocky and shallow. Just outside town so quiet and on the bay. Only real downside was patio was full of spiders so sitting outside was a no-go.

Our stay at Waterview on the Bay was truly enjoyable. The property offers a stunning view, and the heated pool was a great feature, especially on cooler days. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, making it an excellent place for a family stay, while still being conveniently close to local attractions and amenities.

Second time I booked this room, first time was great, this time the carpet was so dirty that I had to ask the owner to cover part of it with a carpet, fire alarm rung Saturday morning for 2 hours, Saturday night briefly and Sunday morning for one hour, the balcony net door was not sliding easily, bathroom door was not closing easily, there were drawing from previous visitor on room mirror (could be seen only under certain angles though), a plastic piece of the toilet flush was broken when we arrived. Good thing is that the owner is very handy and responsive and that he is planning to replace the carpet. You could enjoy your stay if you have more luck than me as the hotel is well situated in front of the lake.

Waterview? More Like Fire Alarm Hell

Worst stay of my life. $450 for two nights in a dusty, musty room with towels that smelled like mildew and beds full of crumbs. I had to use my inhaler constantly because of the dust. Then came the nightmare: fire alarms blasting at 9 a.m. for FOUR hours straight. The blonde cleaning lady barged into our room (while my friend was in a towel) accusing us of smoking, then told me to “calm down.” We ate breakfast outside because it was too loud inside. The fire department came into our room 15 times and even admitted the system was outdated. It didn’t end there!!! alarms again at midnight, then again at 7 a.m., and every 15 minutes after that. Basically paid to stay inside a fire drill simulator. When I asked the owner for a partial refund, he argued, made excuses, and told me it was “out of his control.” Sir, you’re the OWNER. Take responsibility. No communication, no customer service, no care for guests. Save your money, save your sanity, and sleep literally ANYWHERE else — your car, a park bench, even the side of the road would’ve been more restful than this place.

Comfortable motel-style room, good bed and great view. Plenty of hot water, but the shower which was located beside the bathroom, was uncomfortable and potentially dangerous to use because of very slippery plastic floor and sides. Needs at minimum a rubber safety mat, and also a grab bar! Coffee maker in room produced tasteless brew - machine and /or coffee supplies need updating!
