The wife and I went for a late honeymoon trip and I am disabled, so all the handicap parking is down this 6% grade which is very steep. Then we tried using the Hot Tub, which wasn’t really a “Hot Tub” at all. The water was ICE COLD, kids jumping in it like it was some kind of tub or something, plus the hotel isn’t air conditioned accept your room and it has to work all night long to be able to get down to 72 degrees… So if you want to go here make sure you look around for something a little more comfortable…

We woke around 3:10 am to use the restroom. The toilet would not flush. There was no water pressure anywhere. We call the front desk and were inform the water is down daily due to recharging od water softener. We should have been informed at check-in. Also, my wife slipped in the tub due to the slipperiness of the soft water. When front dest was informed, they had a 'no big deal attitude'

Elevator went out due to snake entering mechanical room wrapping itself into pulley system.. it was resolved quickly.. stairs had to be used but help was made available by their staff… loved that stair way has rails both sides and there aren’t that many stairs between floors.. makes for great exit in case of emergency.. even my husband who uses Walker could hold on to both rails making decent easy.. overall we enjoyed our stay.. the outside pool was slightly heated by a waterfall system made it really nice in the windy evening.. would definitely stay there again.. oh and the breakfast was awesome.. they have everything ..

We had a bay view room, which was nice, but it was noisy outside because personnel do not close the pool after 9pm, as stated. Kids were screaming and playing until way after 10pm. The main areas (office, corridors, etc) did not have sufficient a/c, and were muggy. There is also an unpleasant musty odor that hangs in the hallways. Water leaks from somewhere under the tub, but no visible cracks, although there is a need to recaulk the entire thing. The tub should be replaced--it looks like it's been in a war zone. The rooms definitely need an upgrade.

We reserved a 2 Queen Bed Suite & after checking in, it was a 2 Bed Queen. The hotel called me earlier that day to see if I could change my room cause they over booked & I said no because I got that room specifically for the amount of people we had. They obviously didn’t care, they still placed us in a room we didn’t fit in. The sheets were not clean, there was hair from someone else in it still.

I like that is close to the fishing piers and you are able to fish behind the hotel. This was our 2nd time staying hete and this time around the room was dirty. Informed the staf, and she did move us to another room that was dirty as well but not as dirty as the 1st one. It was late and we were tired so we didnt complain.

The front desk staff was not helpful when asked simple questions about the property. We booked this hotel so that we could fish since it backs right up to the water. However, people kept showing up to fish that were not staying at the property. As well as showing up to a family reunion that was using the hotel pergola/bbq pits. We had to go looking for the owner of a truck that had us blocked in just so we could leave and that person was not even staying at the hotel. There was just way too many people using the outdoor amenities that were not actually staying at the hotel.

I booked the hotel for my wife, mother in law ans 9 year old niece. The female employees were very rude and disrespectful to her. I booked 3 days and the 3rd day the electeicity went out. She called me while a female employee was at the door speakimg loudly and wirh a very negative tone to get out. They were scared. It was storming outside of the 3rd floor bay view. My mother in law is a senior citizen with nad feet that has a problem with stairs. They said they were booked and had to hurry and get out. It was 12:30. I believe this entire stay should be comped.

Hotel and staff are excellent. Great value for the price. The travel report we got was talking about the beautiful beach (Lighthouse Beach) and it was very small and water was very murky. Refinery across the bay (1 mile or so away) was putting out some chemical smells as well. No sit-down restaurants within walking distance.

The property was ok, but nothing outstanding by any means. Our room keurig was broken, the room was damp and humid, and they only gave us three towels for four people. When I asked the front desk for more towels, they said I had to swap one of the room towels for a new one...still leaving us with three towels for four people. No one ever came for trash, or more trash bags. The breakfast was great though!
