Silver Beach Hotel

Silver Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"We enjoy staying here because of the convenience of the location. It was nice that the bar is now open, and we enjoyed going down for a drink, however, I believe our room was located above the bar which means the music was loud in our room (at least we assume that's what it was). The bed and furniture were nice. The room was not top notch clean, but not terrible. Although it was not listed in the room description, there was a mini refrigerator and microwave. Breakfast was very basic, but not our favorite. There were many cars in the parking lot the next morning, so there were a lot of people that stayed at this location. We would go back."

"The overall experience was pleasant — the room was spacious, bed comfortable, and I enjoyed the balcony with the view of the water. I didn't drive, so the location is a little bit inconvenient; although they have a shuttle bus that goes into town. I had a dinner at the restaurant one evening which was ok; the cocktail was tasty."

"We have rented several homes via VRBO and this was by far the best home we have stayed in. John was very quick to respond to all communications, the home was beautiful and extremely clean. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked better than our own kitchen. Everything you need is here. Check in and check out were simple. The walk to the lake front was within good measure however there are several stairs to go down to reach the beach. Going down wasn't bad but climbing them was difficult for my husband and I (as we both have heart issues). The view from the beach is breathtaking and you should definitely check it out just know it is a steep climb coming back up. Overall we give this home and experience an 11/10 and cannot wait to return."

"The owners were great! Responded quickly and were very friendly and helpful. House was decent. In a great neighborhood and in a good area if you want to go to the lake. The only drawback was the cleanliness. A few miscellaneous stains on the sheets and on the towels. Other than that, it’s a great place."
