The stay was amazing. Greeted immediately by staff. They advised me that the elevator wasn't working, but luckily I didn't mind the stairs since my room was by the stairs on the second floor. Also on the second floor is their Wellness Center, it includes a steam room, showers, hot tub, and massage rooms. You need an appointment for the massages, but the rest of the amenities are first come first serve. They were amazing, the steam room felt wonderful and the hot tub is great with a view of the night sky. My room was clean, very spacious, comfortable bed, the fireplace gives a beautiful ambiance and heats the room up. The bathroom was clean and roomy, shower has shampoo, conditioner, and body wash if you forgot yours. The tub was huge, you can fit 2 average sized people in it. In the lobby you have beer and wine on tap, you do need a separate key card and are charged per pour. I didn't get one, but it looks cool. Now the breakfast in the morning is coffee, oatmeal, pastries. Nearby, there is a boardwalk that leads you to the beach, which the walk alone is scenic. Overall, my stay was relaxing. A good mental and physical recharge.

The power went out about an hour after we checked in. No light or power to finish getting ready for a night out. Can’t go out with wet hair in November. Could not use the spa or anything else without pier & could not order food for dinner or go out to dinner. Room was a complete fail! Places like this should have backup generator’s for their customers or give a partial refund or free night stay.

This is the most precious gem of a property! We needed a dog friendly hotel and this precious hotel is perfect! The bathrooms are AMAZING with deep jacuzzi tubs! There is a sweet wooden boardwalk from the hotel to the beach we enjoyed. You can walk to town for coffee or breaffast! We are definitely coming back!

The hotel seems to be a little tired. Window was broken and the a/c didn’t work. They have us a fan but didn’t seem to care much. The continental breakfast was awful but I don’t judge a place on breakfast. The elevator was broken as well. It was good for a one night stay but we won’t sty again.

The property is very misleading on this app with me and my husband arrived. We were informed that the front entrance door was broken and did not lock to me this unsafe and dangerous atmosphere each day that we asked for a massage. We were told that there was none available again, the property is very misleading, please do not waste her money

Overpriced. Calls itself a SPA but there were no spa amenities. The night we arrived the air conditioning was on full blast and it took us hours to get the room temperature to a comfortable level. Staff were friendly but it was impossible to get anything taken care of after hours. Room was average.

The only thing out of place in this hotel was the breakfast, which consisted of prepacked low quality foods, in stark contrast to the rooms, the friendly personel and the wellness.

This hotel used to use unscented cleaning/laundry products. I called directly to ask if they still did & was assured they use unscented products. When we got to the room, a strong unpleasant scent hit us immediately. We went to the desk to explain we were told "I can't imagine who would have said that. We use very fragrant products." She suggested we air out the room. We tried for several hours & even slept w/the doors & windows open. The scent was so strong it impacted our sleep & it still smelled in the morning. [Some of my clothes still smelled after washing & hanging for a week.] We weren’t offered a solution (clean the room w/another product, suggestion to move to another room, nothing). We left for the day w/the windows open, but the room still had a strong smell. We ended up leaving after we returned. First we were told we could not get any refund. When we went to check out, we couldn't because she couldn't figure it out. They eventually refunded part of the stay, but our vacation was cut short. Telltale signs: no one at the desk (for 10-15 minutes–no sign/note). We were told that, although breakfast was supposed to be included, “They’ve wiped us out, but there is a little oatmeal & cereal.” Re: “spa”: no massage therapists working that week & the only spa-like things were a steam shower & jacuzzi. Every issue raised, the desk clerk said she’d have to call her boss. Poor management. Empower your staff, ensure desk coverage, food as advertised, etc. Stay elsewhere.
