I understand weed is legal, but waking up to our whole room smelling like it made our stay less enjoyable. If it was just outside it’s one thing, but it was coming through the air vents into the room. The ice machine was right outside our room which was annoying when trying to fall asleep. There was also dried blood spots on the light comforter. Other than that, the view and sounds of the waves on the shore were nice.

Terrible staff and service.

The staff was awful. We had to wait to check in because she was lounging watching a movie on her phone. Then when we had a request for an extra pillow, she gave a face to us like what do you want and was rude about it saying they don't have extra pillows. When I went downstairs to get help with our tv which was frozen she also gave me a look like what do you want so I asked her if there was a particular problem and she said no. I asked again about an extra pillow and she said she can't because they had to be washed and there were 3 properties using the laundry facilities. I've never been treated so rudely by hotel staff in my life. I will not be staying again.

I had arrived at 9pm for checkin. The front desk was closed, but thankfully they had left an envelope with my keys to get in. The sink in the bathroom had standing water in it, and the stopper wouldn't pop up to let it drain. I had to pull it out my hand through the dirty water. The bathroom fan would make a weird noise for around 5 minutes and then eventually turn on with a grinding loud noise. The thermostat didn't work, and the room was a sauna, making it very uncomfortable to sleep in. Staff was friendly when I met them in the morning. Great views, but the property could use some maintenance.

Disappointing Property

This property has a million dollar view, BUT be warned….our lakeview room was very worn, windows wouldn’t shut and there was a breeze, toilet kept getting stuck running, mold in the shower and bathroom had stains on the wall, carpet and furnishings very worn and dated. The staff was super helpful and I know this is beyond their scope of work, but the property needs a major renovation. I guess I just expected more from a property in this location and that beautiful view. Won’t stay again, too bad.

Cold dirty terrible

Front desk was closed at 615pm when we showed up. It said it was open until 9pm. Hotels.com or the hotel double booked didn't get the room asked for never was contacted. Heat didn't heat above 60 degrees. Bathroom floor was damp and slimy. Was one of the nastiest rooms ive ever stayed in. But the bed did seem clean. Was told no refund available.

The view and the friendly staff are the only positives about this place. The room was an absolute dump, cob webs in the ceilings, stains in the carpet, and ripped carpet. Also, the thermostat was broken and it was about 90 degrees when we entered for the first time. Thankfully the windows functioned well enough to open them and let cool air come in to cool the room down because adjusting the thermostat did nothing. I also overheard other customers complaining of the same issue in their room. If all you care about is a beautiful view (it was the one thing that made not want to get a different hotel) and friendly staff, then go here. If you like a room that doesn't look like it hadn't been fixed in 30 years, then don't go here. I won't be returning.

The facility was very average. Mattress had grooves. Room so hot we slept with the window open (in winter) even after turning down the heat. No one to ask for an extra pillow after 7pm. Shelf above sink so low I hit my head on it. On the plus side, clerk was very polite when we checked in. The view out our window was gorgeous. Would not go back.

The view is outstanding and the staff is nice, but that's about all I can say about this property. The room was boiling and the thermostat didn't work and the heat adjustment on the shower didn't work either. The bed was old and soft and the furnishings in the room were very run down. I couldn't recommend.
