The pool and Waterpark are the reasons we stayed here. The pools and pool area could use some attention, but it was decent enough. I did step on something sharp in the Waterpark area which had to be pulled out of my foot and bled a lot, so I've got that going for me. Here's hoping for no infections!

AC,fridge don’t work, waterpark needs cleaning!

There was no phone in the room to even call the front desk to let them know the fridge wasn’t getting cold. No tv remote, Had to walk there to the desk and tell them when we got back to our room that evening , along with the AC cutting off every couple of minutes. I was literally sweating when I walked to front desk to tell them…. And I was told “there was nothing maintenance could do tonight for the AC” . And I mentioned switching rooms but they that they were sold out… when I came back to tell them there was no tv remote either along with no phone , room temperature fridge and the ac cutting out and it was ridiculous at a rate over $200 I’d atleast expect AC to work ( this was after 11pm my kid was asleep ) miraculously they weren’t sold out and had a room they could switch me to …. I’m like I really don’t want to at this point since my kid is asleep… said they’d send maintnece but didn’t know when he’d come,could be an hour…. And that I could talk to manager in morning! I did that before I checked out , and because I prepaid online he offered me a “ free night stay” in the future if less than 80% occupancy.wrote it on scrap paper said he had to type up something official in system and he’d email me it…. It’s been over 2weeks, I emailed him but have yet to get any response !!!!!and the free waterpark, is shared amongst other properties, pipes look old needs replaced, pool deck cleaned. Outdoor pool needed cleaning , looked very ifff!

I was very hesitant to book this place because of all the bad reviews, but it was much better than I expected. Nothing fancy. An older hotel, staff was proficient, not overly friendly but shower was hot. Rooms were surface clean. Perfect for the one night stay on the way to somewhere else we were looking for.

The first room we were given had a broken closet door and smelled musty. The second room was a bit better. We way overpaid for the quality and the price of the room if we had held off and purchased on the way to our destination. Paid double! Staff was pleasant, but the place itself was run down.

Good enough

Decent hotel. Nothing special. They don’t offer continental breakfast but instead have 50% off at two places down the road. Avoid the one with toast in the name. It was atrocious. We didn’t try the other as we ended up getting breakfast food at a store.

Adequate for affordable family stay. The ferry was closed when we arrived so had to arrange for a shuttle to other ferry service. Tv and phone not working in one of our rooms, and required two calls to maintenance for the tv to be fixed, but never got the phone repaired. Staff were extremely helpful. Cleanliness was not great, found a toenail in the carpet, and the shower curtain was stained brown near the bottom. Quiet location. Felt safe. Rooms smelt very musty. Unfortunately, my car was scraped all down one side, during the day we spent on the island. Very disappointing, but maybe not the hotel's fault.
