    Great views of the bay.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Prime location, great beachfront, nice firepit. Front desk staff was top notch! Very accommodating and responsive to requests! Breakfast could have had a bit more variety, esp in the fruit department. Housekeeping did not check to see that shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispensers had product in them. Twice in two days we had to call down to have someone bring some up.

    That it was right in front of the beach. It was very humid in our room and we spent alot to stay here. No I did not say anything to staff.

    Very good

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Great room and great view from the balcony. At this hotel you were able to walk a longer stretch of beach than many hotels in the area. The breakfast room also had a view.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    now serve an actual breakfastwith hot and cold selections. The lakeside views remain as beautiful as ever and the staff is extremely efficient . Will definitely be back again and again!

    I wasn't a fan of the coffee in the cafe but otherwise my stay was wonderful which is reflective in my overall 5 star rating.

    Clean No meat for breakfast no lock on the doorwall if you go to the beach

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Location was nice - beautiful view of the water/sunrise. The beach was clean and lots of chairs. Rooms were comfortable, spacious, with a lovely view off the balcony. Wish there was a walkway along the beach for a morning walk. There are sidewalks by the road, but the road was very busy and sprinklers on all along the way.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Nice hotel with great beach area. Balcony to look out at the lake and surrounding area. We have stayed here before and returned again this year.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We have stayed at this property several times because, of it beach location. It’s easy into town from there, too! It’s really changed! 1# they do not clean the room daily, only every 3rd day. And, on the 3rd day they only emptied trash and took dirty towels and left clean ones. So, no shower, toilet, sink cleaned ! All of the other days, we gathered the trash together along with our dirty towels, called the front desk and waited for them to come get them and bring us clean towels. I just feel this was unacceptable.
