Property needs better cleaning.
Had some slamming doors and people in the parking lot and next to our room but beds were nice and staff were nice.

Super cute property and was perfect for what we needed. This is not a 5 star resort, but it’s great for a little getaway. Staff was absolutely fantastic.
Unfortunately we didn’t have a good stay. The floor was dirty with sand and the bathroom didn’t have hand towels or a shower curtain. The l hotel was on the beach which gave a great view of the lake.
The Management was great. Looking forward to possibly staying there in the future. They were able to answer all of my questions, assist with what was needed and always friendly. The room was one of the updated beachfront two queen beds room. It was spacious and had a great view. Access to the beach was amazing for the warmer hours of the day. Everything was within walking distance of the hotel so we didn't have to worry about parking downtown.
Rooms were very dirty, I had mold in my bathroom and the floors were full of dirt.

Like the new wood siding in the rooms. Bed was comfortable (the other bed was almost on the floor). The outside of the toilet was dirty, the shower curtain was moldy and almost fell on my head. The outdoor stairs need new carpet and the entire hotel needs power-washed. Old broken beach chairs need thrown out!!!
Nice and respectful front desk lady. building is good remodel but the pool is too bad. thank you

Nice property with a good view of the beach. Room was very nice and freshly remodeled. The only issues I had were my tv did not work at all. And the splash pad/ waterpark area was closed. Overall we had a nice stay at the property.
The hotel is in a good location. The room was remodeled but the furniture very outdated. The room had a lot of bugs when we checked in (mosquitoes and flies)
