Nora, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked almost everything. The internet was very slow and the towels didn’t smell freshly washed. The rest area and cleanliness was amazing. This is the reason I gave 4 stars.
Asma, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Location is great, poor ventilation keeps the hot air and chlorine smell in the hall ways.
Henry, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Clean room but overpriced, kitchenette but no utensils, stairwell railings loose, no water view rooms. This hotel is not on the water
Charles, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Could be better

Check in with the front staff person was more interested in getting back to his phone call, than answering any questions. We had supper at Buglers ordered Cheese Burger the burger tasted like it had been precooked earlier in the day and reheated. It was tough, dry and did not taste fresh.

Chavon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice community. I get the sense this place is not being kept up. Service was minimal through our stay and the workers didn't seem to know what they were supposed to do. It was disappointing that the staff are not trained and the place is not being maintained as you can see it had been a nice property.
Carolyn, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The property was very well used and out dated for the price of the room there wasn’t even a facecloth to wash your face sorry always wanted to spend a weekend there but was very disappointed and other guests I was speaking with also felt the same.Dont know for certain but must be owned by a corporate operation and not really looking after it
Gregory, 1-night trip

Go somewhere else !!

This is a very sad, dated place, worn carpets and furnishings. No utensils provided apart from a couple of cups. They had a fridges and microwave but no knives forks or spoons. Check in was not very friendly, given the place was virtually empty.
