I felt room 11, was ok. It didn’t face the water unless you were on the deck, it faced more of the parking lot. But overall it was a nice place.

One of my greatest stays and memories

One of the greatest states I’ve ever had. I will be back. I love the fact that they are pet friendly and you get very luxurious service. The rooms were amazing. I had a patio. I could see the beach right in front of me and the water. Everyone is so genuine and accommodating. I love the customer service. The vibe is everything. The decorations of the room and coordination made me feel so comfortable and the bed and pillows were amazing. The hotel is superduper clean. I love the various areas of the hotel, like the coffee room, the gym, and there’s just a space for everyone seems like which I do love. I also love the restaurant and their choices of food. I had both lunch and dinner there and I’m so beyond satisfied. I love the private space that you get in the area . I love the rural access.

Overall good but the hotel was almost empty off season in late march . I wonder how noisy is the room during the season because the sound isolation isn’t good… Very good beds and the bathroom may need a remodel but was very clean.
