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.

8/10 Good

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.

8/10 Good

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.

Sherrie, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

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 The room was remodeled but the furniture very outdated.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)

The room looked like it was recently remodeled, very roomy. The only issue was that the pool was not open and the onsite water park was broken
Lisa, 1-night trip

The room was really nice along with the beach view. Plugs were very loose.
Stephanie, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Our room had a great view. But the room needed some updating. The floors and furniture needed to be cleaned better.
Tonya, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

The room was nothing like what was in the pictures at all. I booked a beachview room and the only view i had was of the parking lot
Heather, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Room was large enough for three adults, accommodation in good location Bedding was dirty and sockets hanging off the wall It looked if they had just put new cladding on the wall and had not bothered to fix the sockets properly Price we payed matched the room
Andrea, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

We were in our room for literally 10 minutes and encountered fleas. When contacting the staff, I was told I could leave, however, would still be charged. Another individual staying at the hotel had the same issue during our check-in, which the staff dismissed. I will fight any charge received as we left immediately. Rude staff and dirty hotel!
Kristine, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

The bathrooms were old and developing mold on the floorboards and on the ceiling. Bathrooms did not have working vents. The rooms should have mats in the balcony on the bottom floor to collect sand from coming into the rooms.
Regina, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

This was best and worst! Best was access to lake, Viewing fireworks on Sat. Pool, shuttle to docks and front office help for restaurants. Worst was ADA (Amer. Disability Act) total disreguard. Facility was recently renovated. Manager was very proud she got facility up and running one year early...well they never foundmy room had no microwave, coffee pot
