Stayed at this hotel in mid-March for a family wedding. I was worried when another family member called before we got there to say we might want to inquire about getting our money back and finding elsewhere to stay as other guests were unimpressed. When we arrived, we found there was an error in our reservation and we were booked... More

First impression "really shabby place". Unbelievable to have such an incredible location and have such a run down place, DO NOT STOP HERE KEEP DRIVING! there has to be a nicer place than this, better to go out of the way than to stay here. YUCK! More

We apologize for the appearance of our property at the moment. We are currently in the process of quite a few renovations and upgrades which have resulted in unsightly construction areas both outside of our lobby and inside some portions of our lobby and coffee room. Being as we are a year-round hotel we do not have a closed season... More

Absolutely terrible! Dirty. Stinky. Smelled of stale cigarette smoke even though the room was non smoking. Bathroom gross, bed uncomfortable & view was borderline nice. More

The breakfast in the morning was self serve but had everything we needed and our table looked out onto the peir which was nice. The pool and hot tub were awesome. Staff was very friendly and... More

We stayed ther for my son's wedding. We were not told that the pool would be closed due to the employee Christmas party. I reserved early and it seemed that as more people made reservations then the higher the price. No elevators. They would not help me arrange a shuttle bus to the reception (1 1/2 miles away) even though... More

Was there on business for 3 nights. Rate $75 per night in November (not many guests). The room was basic but clean and staff pleasant. Mattress and pillows decent. Small flat screen TV in the room and basic cable provided. Opened the water tap in the tub the second day and brown water came out - don't know if they... More

We stayed here for my brother's wedding. Some of the people staying payed up to $200 per night and felt ripped off. For that much they felt like the rooms should have been nicer. We paid $140 for a room with double beds on the second floor. The rooms were clean and while they had a slightly akward feel with... More

Enjoyed our room. Bed was great to sleep on. Room was clean, staff very pleasant. Unfortunately, I was not able to use the heated pool - maybe next time. Would like to see larger and strudier towel hangers/holders in bathroom. Overall, enjoyed ourselves. More

This Hotel is ok if you are traveling by boat and intend on sleeping on your boat. Otherwise you get what you pay for, rooms were very musty smelling, bathrooms very small with very poor shower heads, I thought I was standing in front of a fire hydrant. Beds were terrible the mattress was so hard to sleep on, I... More
