Sure! Here’s a review you can use or tweak for Expedia: --- We visited during a non-tourist time, so it was pretty quiet. After check-in, the receptionist was nowhere to be found for the rest of our stay, and the place felt a bit deserted. Most amenities weren't available, and the furniture was quite old and outdated. That said, the check-in process itself was smooth, and I was satisfied with the bathroom and the overall cleanliness of the room. One suggestion: they really need to install some vending machines that are actually working—there were none in working condition during our visit, which was disappointing. Overall, not terrible, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

Employees very nice, pool area was very clean, if you can’t do stairs make sure you ask for 1st floor Ths was totally my fault and for it being Labor Day Weekend they where very nice being able to change my room.

Friendliest place on the Island

Met, and made friends on island staying at other resorts, and ours was definitely the best choice for us! The staff is so friendly and accomodating. The other guests staying we encountered were welcoming & great fun as well. LOVED the indoor outdoor pool! Only one on the island!! My favorite part, and what makes this the best choice, ithe resort is tucked in a quiet little nook, a few blocks from town, and around the bend from the Put In Bay Winery. So you can have some time after a fun night of partying to relax and unwind, before heading out again. Best of both worlds! Already looking forward to next year! No other place I want to stay!

We booked this property because we were told they were a "sister" property to the Resort and Convention Hotel and that we could transfer over if a room opened (our friends were at the Resort). A room opened and the manager refused to let us. The property is really run down, no elevator, no amenities. Should be $150/nite max, we paid $350/nite. Staff was excellent-- Dawn especially. Room was clean. A/C barely sufficient. Beds were terrible. Bathroom tiny and run down. Plenty of hot water. Quiet for a crazy town. 5 minute walk to downtown.

Will never stay here again! Failed to tell us the new golf cart parking rules so got a $35 parking ticket. Night clerk banged on our door threatening to call thepolice if we didnt let him in. He accused us of having stolen i-pods in our room. Which we didnt have. I would not open the door I told him I didnt have the ipods. He left to call police. I called the police muself because i didnt trust the guy banging on my door. It was a nightmare being accused of a false accusation.
