Meghan, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Beautiful but very dated lodge. Kind front desk staff, very accommodating and professional. We are a family with two young kids and hotel had a pack and play in room waiting for us. Indoor pool and hot tub were great for rainy days. Hot tub was too hot though and pool too cold. Temp didn’t work at all our entire stay but we made do. They also have board games to rent and bikes! Kitchenette in room was very lacking - no pots, bowls, mugs, cutting knives, or cups. Bring with you if you plan to cook\BBQ a ton. Overall a nice stay!

6/10 Okay

Location is great, poor ventilation keeps the hot air and chlorine smell in the hall ways.
Henry, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

I liked almost everything. The internet was very slow and the towels didn’t smell freshly washed. The rest area and cleanliness was amazing. This is the reason I gave 4 stars.
Asma, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

So we had booked this place earlier in the year and at the time on Expedia we could only obtain one room for 2 nights and then would have to switch to another room for our final night. The price was reasonable and we were prepared to move. When we arrived at the property the front desk staff immediately made sure that we would not have to switch rooms. We didn't even have to ask. Then we got to our room and found it was a huge suite with a full kitchen, living room, two full bathrooms and a loft with a large king bed. Wow. Perfect location for our family reunion which was being held at a YMCA camp close by and easy to get to when we needed a bread from the reunion of 100+ people including many children. The staff were very accommodating and even though we didn't need the kitchen as the reunion had planned all the meals the huge room was very restful for a couple in their late 70's
ROBERT, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Clean room but overpriced, kitchenette but no utensils, stairwell railings loose, no water view rooms. This hotel is not on the water
Charles, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very clean and quiet property. We will definitely go back.
Dorell, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nice community. I get the sense this place is not being kept up. Service was minimal through our stay and the workers didn't seem to know what they were supposed to do. It was disappointing that the staff are not trained and the place is not being maintained as you can see it had been a nice property.
Carolyn, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Great stay
Rhoda, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

The property was very well used and out dated for the price of the room there wasn’t even a facecloth to wash your face sorry always wanted to spend a weekend there but was very disappointed and other guests I was speaking with also felt the same.Dont know for certain but must be owned by a corporate operation and not really looking after it
Gregory, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great place to stay, the only problem is the prices at the restaurant
Chavon, 1-night trip

Friendly staff, clean, kids loved the pool. I would stay here again.
Grace, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Pleasant, quick and nice spot in the little town.

4/10 Poor

Go somewhere else !!

This is a very sad, dated place, worn carpets and furnishings. No utensils provided apart from a couple of cups. They had a fridges and microwave but no knives forks or spoons. Check in was not very friendly, given the place was virtually empty.

Noel, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

The property is showing its age and could use some updates. The room I was in had a rancid smell that I couldn’t get out without leaving the window open (problematic in December).
