This was our 3rd time staying here as we love this place. Love the location and always clean with nice ammenities. However, this time, we had a room where the Heater loudly clicked all night long, causing a horrible nights sleep. There was no one on night shift (understandably so) during off season. So, we were stuck. Called the next morning to report it, and said she would report to the manager and they would call me back. Never received a call. Disappointed that customer satisfaction died at the management level.

Room clean, but no heat!! Just cold air. Only one blanket in room. We were changed to a different room the second night, but heating unit should have been checked out beforehand to make sure in good working order. It is winter, and we froze - hard to sleep when you're cold. Office closed!

We’ve stayed here twice now, very clean, so nice having a kitchen and full size fridge. We ran into some small issues, broken latch on porch door, broken chair back but all addressed kindly and quickly. Views are lovely, linens super clean, staff especially Heather, just OUTSTANDING! We will be back.

Very well located to downtown, sweet hotel. We had a king efficiency. Came with a full-sized fridge, stovetop, microwave and dishwasher. Bed was SO comfortable. Too cold for swimming but pool and area looks very well kept. Nice little pier to walk out on too. A walk into town. 1/22 mile from center of town.
