Book an airbnb instead
My sister's and I have stayed at the hotel before but this will likely be our last time. I was assured a late check in was no problem, but had a very unpleasant check in experience. The cost of the hotel does not allign with the condition of the rooms. We had no hot water when we attemped to shower ar 11am, were assured it was a hot water heater issue that was fixed but by 6pm still were unable to take a hot shower. The initial solution was to be offered a separate room to shower in rather than being moved. We eventually were given another room with fully functioning amenities. The temperature controls on the heater in the new room did not work properly. Even set at 65 at night we woke up miserable because it wouldnt stop and had to be at least 80.

The hotel is not brand new but in good condition. It has a beautiful view of the water. The staff was friendly. My room was clean with no issues. I was a little concerned reading others reviews but did not encounter anything negative and everything was clean.

The hotel smells when you first walk in! It’s the first thing you notice. We were informed the restaurant would be closed due to staffing issues. We were not able to get a main floor room and had to take the stairs. When we got to our room you could tell they were trying to cover up the smell but after a few minutes it wears off! The whole hotel needs a good clean up and new carpet throughout. They have a beautiful setting but I don’t think I would go back.

I suspect this place was very short staffed. Waited an hour for my room to be available. Waited ten minutes to be acknowledged by anyone associated with the restaurant. I left and found another place to eat.
