Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's location near the beach and lake, with many appreciating the proximity to local attractions and peaceful surroundings. However, cleanliness was a major concern, with numerous complaints about dirty rooms, unpleasant odors, stained linens, and maintenance issues like clogged tubs and frayed carpets. Service received mixed feedback; while some staff members were described as kind and accommodating, others were noted as unhelpful or absent, and issues with misleading advertisements and outdated facilities were frequent. Overall, the location was the standout positive, but improvements in cleanliness and service are needed.

Anonymous, Jul 2019
Pros (+) It was close to the water and the pool was okay.
Cons (-) The rooms were not great. A few ceiling tiles were on the brink of collapse, the wall unit air conditioner looked like a lint trap from a dryer, and the comforter had stains. There was also no HBO as advertised and only dry muffins for breakfast.

Pros (+) The view of water beautiful.
Cons (-) The sand beach area was very dirty. Rooms dirty. Some type of gnatty bugs all over. Rooms smelled. Carpet dirty, bathroom floors dirty. Shower stalls had duct tape on them with wall paper coming down in sheets.

Pros (+) The view from the room was great, the beach was nice and swimable and the bon fire pits were a nice surprise, we could walk to the FERRY for the island, and the room was old but clean, with awesome water pressure. The staff were very friendly.
Cons (-) The whole facility needs updating, but it was a great for the price.
