Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our stay at this hotel was far from what we expected. At the bar, we were left waiting for over 30 minutes without service, while other guests were served promptly, which left us feeling unwelcome. Before arrival, I had arranged a late check-out with the hotel and received confirmation. However, on the morning of our departure, while relaxing at the beach, a staff member came over and, in a very dismissive and unprofessional tone, told us our stay was over and we had to leave immediately. This was both embarrassing and frustrating. Overall, the lack of courtesy, poor communication, and unwelcoming attitude made this one of our most disappointing travel experiences. We truly hope the management takes steps to improve guest treatment in the future.

The property is very clean well maintained . It’s is quite large and very occupied. I didn’t like that guests were showing up at the beach early morning and reserving chairs (by placing towels and other items on several chairs) … they also did this at the pool ! Therefore, when we got there at 10-11 am there was only 1 place that was vacant..! This should not be allowed to happen ! It is not a large beach !!!

Worst place I have ever stayed, don’t do it!

Dirty old motel that never changed our sheets! We had to walk up 3 sets of old rusty steps to get to our crappy little room with holes in the walls. Carpet in front of the room was stained and about 20 years old! Place was disgusting! We left we couldn’t do it! I don’t recommend and will never be back! Over price awful place. I recommend Scotty’s resort down the street!

Clean, comfortable beds, great location. The only complaint we have for families with strollers was the elevator was on the slower side. As far as the lake area, the guests would take up beach chairs for hours with just a towel or their belongings on them which wasn’t very nice but the free water activities were a plus!

Just Ok

Room not very close to the beach - but was represented as right off the beach - and when you finally got down to the beach the it was small. the beds were hard and made a lot of noises when you rolled over, but awesome pillows. One great thing was they are electric car friendly.

The property was very clean. We stayed in the building that has indoor hallways and that was great. Housekeeping was good. Front desk staff needs training on how to deal with customers. Upon check out we asked for a 30 mins extra because the fire alarm woke us twice the last night we were there. We were told flat out no after spending 5 nights there and a pretty penny! The mattress was not very comfortable either. Front desk staff not very friendly or welcoming seemed to argue with all the customers. When customer said something they always had a rude answer. Staff needs training on customer service.

Do your research

Just not a great stay. Thought we were getting a loft room with balcony. Not so. Property didn't really care to help because we booked with hotels.com. Parking was an issue because i could not diplay my parking pass. Fights in rooms, fire alarms. Alot of money for not much in return.

Perfect spot. Close to everything and well-kept property. The price was fair for the time of year I booked it. While not wowed by anything, it was perfect for a weekend getaway. Pool closing and opening - 9 am - 9 pm could be extended, but other than that, great spot at LG.
