For the price a great place to stay. The beds were comfortable and the rooms very clean. It is an older hotel but most in this area are. The rooms have been updated…..floors and bathrooms. The pool and grounds were also very nice. Hammocks picnic tables, and shaded places to sit and relax. We would definitely stay here again.

It was very far from the point for the price. Room is small and no food options. A family stayed above us and had their small children running across the room and balcony till about 3am at one point one of the adults screamed outside to get up and party. They also rented bath towels for the pool for 20$ each which i thought was crazy. Other than that it was good

Not like reviews I read or photos on their website. Room was clean but dated and had issues. Bathroom was tiny (not like photo portrayed). Also could not shut the bathroom door all the way because it rubbed against the floor and showed evidence this was an ongoing problem. Bathroom cabinet doors would not shut either and had roaches living in it. Wi-Fi even though we could log in was basically useless because it was so weak. Front door had two locks, a door knob lock and a dead bolt. However, the key we were given only worked in the door knob lock. Pool was nice, but beach wasn’t much of a beach…

We stayed in the waterfront cottage - it was a wonderful getaway. Having morning coffee on our front porch overlooking the bay was quiet & peaceful with the local birds "singing" to us as an added bonus. We loved swimming at the private beach area and taking the kayaks out into the bay - no wake/waves make both of these very relaxing. Sunset was fantastic! They could have used more beach lounge chairs (or at least more that weren't broken) but everything else was great!

A great hotel! Everything is nice and well maintained. Staff very friendly and all is clean. The best part is being right on the water with great beach area and shady area. Lots of planes to die and eat outside by the beach. Kayaks available. This is one of my preferred places to stay. Ask is very nice from room to grounds and beach. Water is warm and views are amazing. Super sunset views. People starting here were very friendly so I made s lot of new friends. It's close to restaurants and shopping. It's also near community center (YMCA) with a very nice walking area. If you have a pet, it's an ideal place to bring. Lots of grounds for a good walk, playground for kids, plenty of shade spots to soak it all in!
