Silver Dart Lodge

Silver Dart Lodge

8/10 Good
"We only stayed 1 night during our vacation. i had read some of the comments about the moldy smells and actual mold in the lower rooms. I was therefore disappointed to see that's what we had. . We had 2 rooms for our group, and one rom smelled a bit like a locker room, and the other had mold on ceiling in bathroom. The beds were comfy, a/c worked well and all else good. saw the de-humidifiers in the hallway. Restaurant wasnt open when we arrived."

"The only negative I can say, is that the dining room is in another building and it was pouring with rain when we needed to go for breakfast. The property does have quite steep inclines to walk to the dining room. If you are a senior or have mobility concerns make sure to ask for a ground floor room. Other than that, it was great."

"Small view of water from the balcony. It was raining, so we were not able to sit on the balcony. I would have enjoyed sitting on the balcony. Room cleanliness was good. The staff was helpful. Parking is in the parking lot or around the building on an unpaved area. No elevator in the house for guests. We had a room on the third floor with a good view from the balcony. You will need to carry your bags up the stairs if you want to stay in the house. The room had a TV in it. I would have preferred a desk to write. The Inn does not provide breakfast, but you can pay extra for an excellent dinner in the evening in their dining lounge."

10/10 Excellent
"This place is a little slice of heaven without any hassle and with great prices! I was totally blown away with how clean, nice, modern and cozy these domes are. We will 100000% be back! Also, rain or shine they are a dream come true to sleep in, so romantic as well, view of the ocean. I was disappointed at first that we happened to be there on a rainy night but was wrong, the sound of the rain and just being in nature with it all was magical to say the very least, and I am sure with a story night it will be just as nice or maybe even nicer due to being able to see right through the center of the roof. The staff were also super friendly and helpful, the bathrooms were also super modern and nice. I just can't say enough good things about my stay there and just the whole place. Thank you, we will be back!"
