Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Beautiful common areas, pool, fire pit, restaurant etc. The rooms are a little small and ours was very cold and damp. The backside of the property is a bit dark, but I think it’s still safe. Dogs are welcome but there isn’t a great place to walk for potty time. Staff was amazing with only one exception. A mixed bag, it really depends on what you want from your stay.

Nice Hotel - Bad Services
The hotel charged parking fees for both rooms, even though I only had one car. Despite several emails and calls to address the issue, the hotel has not refunded the extra payment.

Paradox Vibes
Such a charming spot, especially with great prices during the low season—though it can get a bit hectic in high season. The pool and hot tub are standout features, and the revamped dining room is a vibe.

Front desk staff was terrible. When you check in there is absolutely no information given regarding what is available to you, breakfast, the restaurant/bar, etc. I had to ask for directions to the elevator. They were so terrible, i was 1 of 3 parties wondering aimlessly looking for the elevator with someone who is handicapped. I guess we all got the same amazing directions.
