This hotel offers a peaceful and quiet retreat. While it's a little bit outdated, the rooms are pretty clean and spacious, providing plenty of room to spread out. A big plus is the inclusion of a kitchen in every room (as far as I could tell), which more than makes up for the lack of a formal breakfast service and allows for significant savings on meals. The staff is nice and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay. However, a lot of small things need attention or fixing throughout the property. The very quiet location is great for relaxation, but you'll definitely want to plan your free time and activities beforehand, as amenities and attractions aren't immediately nearby. Overall Rating: 4.5/5 Stars. A solid choice for those who appreciate quiet, space, and the convenience of an in-room kitchen.

This was a stay with my adult daughter and friend. We only stayed one night as we were in the area for a show. The room had a musty smell to it when we walked in so we opened the door and turned on the ac to air it out which seemed to help a bit. There was one double bed and a pullout sofa. The bed was okay but the pullout was absolutely terrible. The thinnest "mattress" I'd ever seen and when you laid on it you could feel every spring. I think my daughter would have been better off just sleeping on the sofa. I don't think we'd stay here again.

Would stay here again!!

I was prepared to be disappointed because the Resort is on the main road, but I was pleasantly surprised at how wonderfully quiet our room was! Parking was a breeze, and the water recreation options were unexpected! I went for a swim at the yacht club, wished I'd had time to take out a paddle board. The room was lovely; clean, comfortable and super practical with the mini kitchen. Great location - easy, short drive to the center of town.

So I guess I was disappointed that the sheets were old and stained w sweat, there was no drinking water in the room and the amenities were only open 9 AM to 9 PM with the inconvenience of having to leave your license to have the key to use them. Oh, and the sauna doesn’t really heat up enough. overall just seem like they didn’t really Want to provide hospitality or care about their property degrading in condition. I wouldn’t stay again.

The Staff was very friendly, the building and grounds were dated but in good condition. On papaer it looked the docks were on or near the main buildings but they were 1.5 miles away. the smoking area was between our room and the parking lot. So it seemed there was always someone sitting or standing there smoking when we walked back and forth from the car, which was uncomfortable
