it was okay just neede more blankets it was 5 of us and we had to share the blanket witch was small. the hotel was nice but we did have to keep asking for towels they would give us 1 for a family of 5. towel rack at pool was always empty the parking was mostly full because of people going to beach would park in guest parking. instead of actually towing people’s cars that were not guest at the hotel they didn’t care.

Overpriced room in very poor condition. Walked into a room with a very dirty flooring. The room also has a bad smell. Walked into the bathroom and the toilet seat, on both top and bottom, and bowl were stained with human feces. Shower also appeared as it hadn’t been cleaned. After 5 hours of driving with 2 toddlers, I didn’t have the energy to look for a new place to stay or complain to staff. The lobby was always full of people and staff looked overwhelmed as it was. Also, when showering, all the water leaks out of the shower and nearly floods the entire bathroom. I had to use all the provided towels and some to contain the water in the tiny bathroom. Room is very outdated. Not really kid friendly either. You can hear footsteps all around you. Pool are had 0 towel and beach access was littered with trash.

No hot water in our building for three days! They said they were setting up a system for morning showers in the other building but when I went to the desk at 7am to get the key for the shower room the clerk had no idea what I was talking about. Typical for the property. Lots of 'deferred maintenance' and poorly trained staff. They make their money from having a really great location.

Our room was not cleaned, which left us not only with a messy room, but also with full trash cans, no clean towels, no toilet paper, or sand-free floors, and the staff's response was extremely rude and unhelpful. The resort's older, motel-like atmosphere and poor customer service make it a place I would not revisit.

Immediately on entering room, it smelled like cheese. Walls in room were dirty and everyday we rec’d towels that had stains or looked dirty. Pool was clean but no towels and beach was incredibly small. No gym so amenities fee was overpriced for very little to no actual amenities other than parking. Beds were comfortable. Pictures were entirely misleading. Looks nothing like the pictures we saw online on Expedia. Towel rack was broke and shower leaked regularly.

The rooms were smaller and dated. Didn’t have any house keeping services, even after we called and requested it. The location of the property is perfect for families with kids, it’s walking distance to the beach/lake as well as close to shops and restaurants.
