Sylvan Bay Summer Home Area Vacation Packages

This place is the definition of “looks great in the photos, reality sold separately.” The management has clearly cut costs wherever possible, and unfortunately, guests notice it everywhere. The room is so small that if one person is walking, everyone else has to negotiate traffic. The bathroom is even tinier, you practically have to step into the tub just to close the door. The sink deserves a special mention. It’s so small that there’s nowhere to place your toiletries, and the faucet splashes water everywhere as if it’s trying to wash the entire countertop. There’s also no bathroom exhaust fan, and the walls are so thin you’ll become surprisingly familiar with your neighbors’ conversations without ever meeting them. As if that wasn’t enough, one morning there was no hot water for a shower. Apparently, a cold shower was an unadvertised complimentary amenity. Breakfast was an adventure. No peanut butter. No bread. Bagels with no cream cheese. No fruit. At one point I wondered if the breakfast was still being unpacked. To top it off, housekeeping isn’t even included in the room rate. Don’t let the shiny, professionally taken photos fool you. They show the best angles, not the actual experience. Hopefully this review helps you make an informed decision before booking.

The property was not as pictured and was very disappointing

The place was great. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was awesome. I definitely suggest getting the breakfast there. It’s nice to be at a hotel where people serve you and clean up the tables that was very helpful with two little kids. My only issue was that the AC unit didn’t seem to be working and the microwave had a little to no power. Other than that, the property was great it was in a great location and the parking was y as well. The beds and pillows were super comfortable and the blankets were actually nice blankets not the cheap blankets. You usually see at hotels there’s no conditioner in the shower so make sure you bring conditioner if you use it. Good choice if you have a little kids as there is a playground right across the street that has stuff for all ages.
