This hotel is in desperate need of a serious upgrade. No smart TV’s (and tiny ones at that), old carpet, mishmash of upgrades, uncomfortable couch, poor lighting. The only thing this hotel has going for it is the location and a comfortable bed. It should cost 1/2 the price but because of its location they feel they can get away with overpriced rooms and ratings. Seriously disappointing.

This is an amazing venue and the staff are outstanding. The restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. All in all I will always stay in this facility when I stay in a hotel. And will encourage friends and family who come to visit to stay there too. View is magnificent.

Everything about this property was great…the view was spectacular! The only issue we had was there were four adults travelling and the second bed (pull out couch was incredibly uncomfortable.) I would definitely stay here again but get separate rooms. The front desk staff at check in was incredibly friendly and welcoming!

Just a word of warning. We tried two nights in a row to have dinner in Cow Bay but both restaurants said they were fully booked. If you want to eat in Cow Bay make reservations well ahead. Don’t walk-in hoping. FYI we found an excellent Italian restaurant 6 mins drive away. Otherwise the property is good. Great location. Wonderful bakery in Cow Bay.

Was a gorgeous property with a fantastic view. We we're on a 2 week roadtrip and this was by far the comfiest bed I slept in! The only thing I was disappointed in was the beach there. I understand this is out of the hotels control. So this isn't against them. But just for others to be aware of - the beach had SO MUCH GARBAGE on it. I couldn't believe it. We walked it and went right back to our room.
