there were small insects in the room. Cobwebs and other indicators including dust indicating that the cleaning process was not good . The refrigerator was frosted over and inoperable. I complained to the front desk and they did send a maintenance person who replaced the refrigerator, but we were inconvenienced and had to wait while he came to take the refrigerator. We were also inconvenienced because we had to wait until he picked it up the next day. Just a bad experience.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Horrible smells upon arrival and wouldn’t refund us even when we said we didn’t mind paying the first day, but wanted a refund for next two. The drive into the hotel was a concrete driveway that was all torn up and I thought would damage my car if I drove it multiple times. The sign to the property was slashed and upon entering the hotel it wasn’t maintained nicely. Visible mold in lobby bathroom. Awful smells in lobby. Drip down the outside the front of the hotel. We said we would pay for that day but wanted our money back for the other days. We didn’t feel safe staying there. Both the hotel owners and Expedia gave us the run around and wouldn’t refund.

Liked the ease to get to our boat to fish in the morning Did not like all the pot holes around the property. They should fix that. Also we were charge a large resort fee and the pool was not working. If you are going to charge a resort fee, everything MUST work in order to receive that.

The room and interior are very dated and in need of repair. Ours had holes in the walls a very old bathtub that did not appear clean. The upside was the bed was very comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is lovely and it is a shame the interior is in rough shape.

Extremely overpriced. It’s like staying at an EconoLodge, or Motel 6. Shower door was messed up. Hallways smell old and stale. TV remote hardly worked. Water stains on wood surfaces. Cheap furniture. Outside was dirty. Gutters have staining. Trim is in rough shape. Parking lot was rough and full of rocks and gravel, on the blacktop. Wish I hadn’t paid $500 per night.

THE ENTIRE PROPERTY NEEDS AN UPDATE. DECOR AND FIXTURES ARE OUTDATED. OUR ROOM HAD A FUNKY SMELL. THE BEDS AND TOILET WERE CLEAN, HOWEVER THERE WERE BUGS IN THE SHOWER AND THE BATHROOM VENT WAS SO CLOGGED WITH DUST/GUNK THAT IT BARELY WORKED.

We didn’t stay the night we left at 8pm. My daughter and I did not feel safe. There were a group of men staying on the floor above us and they were hanging out smoking pot on their balcony. When we came back from a walk they made us uncomfortable so we left. Also chose this hotel because of the outdoor pool. The pool is not even filled with water. It was an overall very disappointing experience.
