Don't judge a book by its cover! This property may look aged, but we were so very impressed with how well the owners have updated the interior and pool area. It's clean, comfortable, modern, and the customer service is the best I've experienced in a while. Meghan is the epitome of a hospitality professional!

The property was adequate and it was great to have the staff reach out to accommodate later arrivals outside their reception hours. I look forward to staying again.

very confused by check in and out process - told animals are ok, to check in to a letter telling me they are not. Checked websites, no mention of policy concerns. It was a nice tiki bar around a weak motel with no staff

They provide no top sheet. I had to ask. It's a tired old place with unpleasant smells. It was clean though and the people were lovely. The price is right if you just need a place to sleep.

Resort is ok. Meghan at front desk is awesome! The hotel is old but pretty clean. Tiki bar is really loud in the afternoons when the music starts. Had or room windows and art on our walls rattling for hours. Pool is right next to public bar so only feels usuable in morning. Otherwise you're the bars entertainment besides the live music. Food was ok. Works when you dont want to go out. A little pricy. Hotel is very reasonably priced. Would recommend rooms need updating badly. Music from bar toned down just a bit.
