Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities

I was surprised how outdated the room was. It smelled musty. Although I appreciated the toilet plunger in the bathroom for emergencies, it was quite unsightly. You could hear movement from the room above amplified like furniture was being moved & the breakfast was not impressive. Maybe the other rooms are nicer. I would not recommend the one I was in.

The resort is old and needs repair. Our room smelled musty moldy… the furniture was ripped the deck paint was peeling, there were cigarette butts outside, the screen on the patio door had rips in it. The main lodge seamed nice. We didn’t end up staying . I have allergies and was afraid a migraine was in my future. They charged us $50 for cancellation.
