Decent hotel with cute, updated rooms. Easy walk to the outdoor concert, restaurants and shopping. The breakfast consisted of coffee and oatmeal packets. The pool was out of service due to “the season” (front desk gal was all business, so I did not ask if that meant the pool is available during the winter months and patrons use the lake during the summer months (?)). Beach pass was $15, vs the usual $30 - free if you’re there before 9am. I would stay here again, knowing it’s just a clean place to sleep and shower.

Great location and modern rustic vibe

The room was great. Comfy bed and very quiet in the back rooms. It had everything we needed and we took advantage of the walkable location to restaurants, shops and the beach. Nice walk to concerts at Ceasar’s also. Pool, hot tub and dog friendly.

The location was the best part of this property. The rooms were very dark and older. There was no housekeeping which is common these days. However, the trash was overflowing and the sheets were not fitted so they were not tucked in and by the 5th day, it was a bit of a problem. The breakfast items were not stocked. Had to ask to replenish and she said they’ll be replenished as shipments come in. The only thing that wasn’t a problem to get replenished was the coffee. Some mornings, there wasn’t any cereal or yogurt. The breakfast already was only cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, individual packaged fruit cocktail and granola bars. Also, the pool was closed while we were there.. first week of August. We were out and on the go most of the days so we really only used the place to sleep and shower so it was doable. As I said, location was the main reason for staying there.

My reason for booking this hotel was free breakfast was included which that was not the case. It wasn't even a continental breakfast. There food options were cereal, yogurt, and bars. The front desk gal was rude no people skills. They could have at least given us free beach passes (which we were told they gave out) for our stay in the small room. Pool needed some attention had algae.

This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed here. The first 2 times we absolutely loved it, this third time was a struggle. Apparently they’re going thru ownership change and the service definitely showed. We were given the wrong room and walked in on other guest (oops). We then had to wait 20 min for one room to be done. The kids wanted to go swimming and there were no pool towels. It didn’t feel like a boutique hotel experience, it felt like they were short staffed and the staff that was there was doing their best to keep up. We won’t be staying here again.
