Dirty room

Room was very dusty. The microwave was disgusting. The bathroom was clean. This is an older hotel and I'm sure seasonal but could have been cleaned better.

The staff were very helpful. Although it's on the water, you can't fish which a place on the water you would think that's an option..also having a porch to sit on but you have to walk around the hotel to do so. Beds not the most comfortable.

The bed and pillow were rock hard so difficult to sleep. No clock in the room, no ice machine, no vending machines. The room was tiny! Partial bathroom fixtures stuck out of the wall - I had to be careful not to bang my head as I got off of the toilet! Continental bkfast was muffins, danish, and coffee, and I don't drink coffee! To be fair, the woman who seemed to be running the place could not have been NICER. There was just nothing there, including a razor ffor my husband to shave. My advice is to stay far away1
