What a gem of a place. The view from the waterside rooms is worth every penny! This place had that old school charm and hospitality you don’t get anywhere else these days. Bruce the bartender makes the stay memorable and makes you feel welcome. Book it for the views, stay for the stories, and enjoy the tiki bar and pool. I will be coming back next year. Such a memorable trip with this place. Bonus is the water sports are just outside the hotel and you get free access to the huge gym facility next door.

I think the bathroom sink area was difficult to maneuver around...meaning no counter space at all. Also, the bedding and mattress was only so so. But the people we came in contact with were very helpful and welcoming.

Our stay was fine, however the property and rooms need a facelift. It’s very rustic and old. We had a king suite which was a large room with a pullout but the furniture, room and bathroom needed a major upgrade. The staff was excellent and super friendly and helpful and the property’s location was ideal. Central and by the water. Overall we had a pleasant stay but I don’t think I could stay there again unless they do some major renovations.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
After hours check-in was easy; room, King sized bed and shower was spacious; staff was very friendly; and they provided a decent continental breakfast. However, the facilities showed their age, are bare bones with no amenities (e.g. 2 to tiny bath towels were provided and not much else. They use the brightest, whitest light bulbs (no warmth) and the walls are paper thin. Sounded like my neighbors TV show was playing my room. There is a distinct smell of rotting plant matter on the sound side of the property. Too expensive for the bare bones nature of the place.

The room and bed were very comfortable. Staff and breakfast were nice. The property outside i have to say from the looks of it i was nervous about what our room was going to be like. The room was clean and nice. The property not so much. I will say though that the next day they were cleaning the the outdoors of the property. Later that day it looked nice and very clean. We had a waterfront view which we could not enjoy as it smelled like sewer. Thst was very disappointing. We couldn't stay outside to enjoy the view. The outside pool was nice I
