The property was nice and clean. The beach is conveniently near by and shopping and restaurants where also near by. The only thing we had to bring our own cookwar, dishes and utensils. Other than that we really enjoyed it.

For the money paid for the room it is definitely not worth it. The property is very dated and it wasn’t very clean as well. Only reason we stayed there is because it’s convenient to the nearby dining and shopping otherwise would not stay there again. Be advised there’s a lot of restriction as to what you can and cannot do on the property.

The front desk staff were amazing at checking me in. The hotel room had in a small household refrigerator and a coffee pot. There was a nice little dinette. Everything was clean and welcoming. It is very walkable across the bridge to restaurants and shopping.

We ended up staying for an additional night and left keys behind. We have called Text emailed and left voicemails to staff over the past four days. They will not return any calls. They will not reply to emails. They replied to a text saying send a prepaid FedEx, which we did however, they have not printed it out. They haven’t printed them out or mail the keys. They haven’t returned the keys terrible customer service.

I waited on my review until i heard back from the property regarding the fact that we jad no running water our departure day (no coffee, showers, or flushing toilets!). Although the initial reaponse to my call was handled poorly (answering service?) and the water was out to the whole building and was not resolved, they were quick to respond and make up for the unacceptable issue. The location was fantastic, rhe first very cold night was quiet and adequately heated. Thanks to earlier reviews, I brought my own kitchen items to save the $50 fee to use theirs (but could not clean up after breakfast due to no water). I would stay again. Two beds requested and i got 2 entire bedrooms, which was not expected but perfect for me and a friend.

Wonderful stay. Our room appeared very clean, until we went to bed. The sheets had not been changed from the previous people because the bed was full of sand.
