I did not like the way the main office operation hours. The office sign posted 0930 to 1700. But when we arrived at 11:30 , the office door was closed. We had to call " Norma" in order to check on our room statis. The staircases at my motel are dirty

This property needs maintenance badly and upgrading. Fan in the bathroom sounds like jet engine but doesn't vent anything. No screens in any of the hotel windows for any unit. No ceiling fans or ac. Got a call from office for late check-in once then couldn't get a hold of anyone ever again. Office constantly closed. No one ever answered the voicemail i left either. Basic cable and internet. Couldn't even stream apps on tv.

Had a kitchen which was super useful. Was very central and super easy to access to go in and out. All in all, a good stay. And very good bang for your buck compared to everything else in town over the long wknd. Didn’t love that we had to pay extra for our dog after our stay, as we booked a pet friendly unit. It was probably in the fine print, but would have been nice if this was stated before booking. This is something that Expedia should make WAY more clear before booking.

The picture of the resort is misleading, it made it appear that there is a balcony with seating areas by the rooms but the picture is the restaurant seating area by the marina. There is no bay view from the rooms as they are located at the back of the property on the opposite side of a hill. The dock ramp and dock is in major need of repairs and was dangerous for physically impaired people. With no parking for guests when they came to the marina for guided fishing trips. At the rooms there is limited parking because of all the boat trailer taking priority and there is nothing for handicap accessible to the rooms or parking. Access to the rooms are by deteriorating and non compliance to code. The room security was almost non existent only lock was by the inexpensive residential door handle lock, no deadbolt or even a working door chain. There was no tub Matt and because of a slippery tub the other 84 people in the room fell and couldn’t get up, managemetThe windows had no screen and were both accessible to public to climb through, the curtain didn’t cover the entire window so the interior of the room was visible to people walking by. The carpets and vinyl floors appeared dirty and didn’t appear to be clean the three days we her there. The beds were old and saved in a V, the middle of the bed about 2” below the ends. There were only three outlets available- one each for the bed light another for TV and the last by the table. We did not have power for chargers or CPAP machines.

Stayed with family and condition of bathroom was very bad. Cleanliness was also questionable as there were what looked like blood stains on the bedroom walls. Maybe ok for couple or single person looking for a cheap accommodation option but would not recommend for families.
