I liked the hotel, the room was clean, the bed linen was clean, the bathroom was also very clean, it was also very nice that the hotel takes care of the pets that come with you, the hotel provides beds, blankets and towels for them. Cafes, restaurants, and the beach are within walking distance. Thanks to the hotel management and staff for the cleanliness and customer care!

The hotel was great! Very clean and an easy walk to restaurants , shopping and the beach. Staff were very responsive to any concerns. We had a noise issue with other guests who were very disrespectful to us and the other guests our last night there. We will stay again.,

10/10 Excellent

This is a great spot next to 4 casino, the chair lift, shops, food, and beach. Met the directors wife checking in and she was super helpful getting us in a little early, offering helpful tips for getting around and even offered some local cookies - maybe the best I’ve had to boot. Our room was super clean and pretty new - looked recently remodeled. AC worked great, fridge and coffee makers stocked with coffee were perfect to start the day. Had a microwave and all the stuff you’d expect at any hotel. Thanks for a great stay! Room 27

10/10 Excellent

It’s a cute little place! Well updated and accommodating! The bed was a bit softer than my back can stand but otherwise it was a great stay! The location is super convenient and parking was easy. My children enjoyed the pool greatly and I appreciated the contactless check in.
Jenna, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Booked a stay there for a concert I was attending at the outdoor venue basically less than 5 minutes away. Only downfall, was that I noticed spiderwebs near the bathroom sink. Comfy beds though!
Nancy, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

this property is quaint. If you are over 5'5" everything is small., Shower, bed everything! The worst is we stayed for 5 days and no maid service unless you want to pay $25/each time.

If had known the Bluejay was so dirty and had long term Tennants, we would have stayed elsewhere. Expedia's ratings were overrated.
