The property is under construction. Hot water took a while. Mattress was poor quality. The front desk was very accommodating. Expedia was informed when we arrived and I was told I would be given a full refund. The next day I spent over an hour with your horrible staff who offered me $100!

I almost cancelled my reservation based on some of the poor reviews I read. However, the stay met my expectations. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The grounds were clean. The resort was overall quiet due to the season. There was construction in progress but it was not disruptive. I enjoyed my stay.

Enjoyable stay on the Bay in the offseason. Room was clean, nice view. Ongoing construction was away from room. The two restaurants were convenient and served local seafood!

DONT STAY HERE
It was awful. Immediately upon opening the door to the room there was just an awful old smell reeking from the room so we opened the windows and blasted the AC to get the smell out. The beds are super old and uncomfortable. The couch is clearly old and smelled awful. The prices are way too high for that kind of quality. Stop putting millions into a parking garage and work on the hotel!!! Also there’s no breakfast! Look somewhere else before staying here.

The hotel added a resort fee when I checked in even though it was late October, many resort type amenities were closed mid-week, and there was massive construction going on.
