"Amazing place…you would not expect to drive around a Walmart and find such a beautiful resort that feels like you’re miles away from everything. The included amenities were a huge bonus. We absolutely lived to Olympic sized pool, and had fun strolling around the lake in their paddle boats, playing ping pong, as well as throwing some bags at the corn hole tables. The private beach parking lot was wonderful also, and the staff were all very friendly and tried to be as helpful as possible. We will definitely be back."

8/10 Good
"This hotel was basically clean but it's old and that shows in the details, especially in the bathroom (tiles/grout needs an upgrade and I also don't like the sink outside of the bathroom.) The bathroom was tiny but the room itself was large and comfortable. The air conditioning worked very well and the staff members that I met were professional and nice. The location was great - easy access to the beach! Our room had a very nice little outdoor area with 2 chairs and a table. However, we were on the first floor, right next to the custodial room and across from the dumpsters (not the best location, I'm sure). In the custodial room were washers and dryers. Each time we attempted to sit outside on the chairs outside our room, the dryers were on and we smelled gas. We assumed the gas was coming from the dryer vents, but I was so concerned that I called the front desk. The person I spoke with was unfazed by my gas concern and told me that it was nothing to worry about. She also mentioned that the custodial staff had gone home. Even if it was of no concern to her, we couldn't sit outside, so that area went unused by us (which was one of the reasons I booked this hotel). Shouldn't a "GAS" concern be investigated?? I won't be returning."

"The staff were very friendly at the inn. The breakfast lady kept an exceptionally clean area and the breakfast was more than adequate. The location was great even though our room was not oceanfront, the access was great. The inn is very old although it has been remodeled. There is no elevator and our room was located in the 500 area and it was extremely difficult for our aged bodies to navigate getting our belongings in. We were not notified that accessibility would be an issue. The room, although old, was comfortably air conditioned and the beds were comfortable as well."
