I did not like that there were signs everywhere threatening extra charges. I understand people take advantage of hotels and steal towels etc but the agreement you sign while checking in that details charges for everything from pets to smoking in the room was more than sufficient. It is uncomfortable and not hospitable.

Overall Ok
Location is great! Right in the middle or everything in town and was clean. Great view of the water. The Downfall was the bed was really hard and uncomfortable and although the pool was huge, it was only 3 feet deep. Great for little kids, but not for adults wanting to unwind. Also wish they served breakfast cuz there isn’t much close by.

For the price the rooms could have been more updated. The bed was very uncomfortable and small flat pillows.

Fairly clean and friendly service. Nice to have proximity to San dunes and the lakes :) would just have to say the cleaning products smell way too strong and unpleasant, and pool area odor and cleanliness made it unusable for us.

a pretty decent pace to stay. Clean and everything worked. This is on the water with a sand beach but there a re so many boat docks that it is not real attractive, it is good for small children. There are a number of attractions and food shops within an easy walk but to g et real food you will have to drive. Nice indoor swimming pool and hot tub on the top floor.There is a small coffee pot in the room no microwave. The automatic coffee machine down the hall makes terrible coffee. I would prefer a comfortable chair to sit in rather than the typical straight dining rm chair, Overall if we were back in the area we would certainly consider staying here again.
