Would stay here again!!
I was prepared to be disappointed because the Resort is on the main road, but I was pleasantly surprised at how wonderfully quiet our room was! Parking was a breeze, and the water recreation options were unexpected! I went for a swim at the yacht club, wished I'd had time to take out a paddle board. The room was lovely; clean, comfortable and super practical with the mini kitchen. Great location - easy, short drive to the center of town.

This was a stay with my adult daughter and friend. We only stayed one night as we were in the area for a show. The room had a musty smell to it when we walked in so we opened the door and turned on the ac to air it out which seemed to help a bit. There was one double bed and a pullout sofa. The bed was okay but the pullout was absolutely terrible. The thinnest "mattress" I'd ever seen and when you laid on it you could feel every spring. I think my daughter would have been better off just sleeping on the sofa. I don't think we'd stay here again.

While the property had a nice heated pool, saunas for men and women, and was tucked in a nice area, the property is older. As a lite sleeper, I heard everything. The beds are a bit worn too.
Staff was friendly and great with suggestions of where to eat and shop.

We had a great stay at this hotel! Perfect little place with everything you need. Coffee was available in the room and downstairs by the desk and the room we stayed in had a fridge, microwave, stovetop, and all the cookware and glassware you need. It's definitely an older property but that is what gives it it's charm. Our TV did not work in our room but was not a huge deal. Front desk staff were kind and flexible. Would absolutely stay again and use the pool next time, it closes at 9p.
