The entire building and the room smelled of mold and were damp. There were no towels in the room. The area looked unkempt. It wasn’t worth the money. The place is not a resort; it’s more like a cheaper inn.
They charged an extra $50 for unforeseen expenses and have not followed up. In addition, they charged an extra $9 to the card without explaining why.
I can imagine this place was a true resort at one time, but resort is really far fetched. It’s more of a motel with some extra amenities. The pool was very nice, hot tub very hot, and there is access to the water out back where you can fish. Breakfast was self serve microwave sandwiches, sometimes cereal and fruit. Went a few days without having the room cleaned to the point we had to call and even walk out dirty towels up to the front. I understand staffing can be an issue in any market. The room was very humid and damp but that might be expected for the area. We did really enjoy the bikes they let tenants use freely. It’s not terrible but far from a resort. Feels silly to pay a resort fee and parking fee when the quality is this low.
Room with the balcony was overbooked so we ended up in another room. Hot tub wasn't working. no iron or ironing board.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We stayed 1 night. Building had a common hall/entrance. When we walked it the building had a weird odor (musty) smell.
The room also has a weird odor, different than the hall but just as bad. It looked like the property was under new management trying to get the whole property looking better. Deferred maintenace on the grounds. We did like the view from the bar area. Although no quests ame to the bar while we were there. We didn't get to enjoy the breakfast. We had to take care of some business during that time unexpectantly. Over all the pool are was nice and the location was central. The room was clean enough, it was just the odors in the building.
Our balcony had a beautiful view of the marina and water beyond. The front desk was very helpful since we arrived early. When we asked about getting ice, housekeeping brought us a bag of ice. The resort took very good care of us. Would recommend.
Staff was great
Room was great
