This is a great spot next to 4 casino, the chair lift, shops, food, and beach. Met the directors wife checking in and she was super helpful getting us in a little early, offering helpful tips for getting around and even offered some local cookies - maybe the best I’ve had to boot. Our room was super clean and pretty new - looked recently remodeled. AC worked great, fridge and coffee makers stocked with coffee were perfect to start the day. Had a microwave and all the stuff you’d expect at any hotel. Thanks for a great stay! Room 27

I liked the hotel, the room was clean, the bed linen was clean, the bathroom was also very clean, it was also very nice that the hotel takes care of the pets that come with you, the hotel provides beds, blankets and towels for them. Cafes, restaurants, and the beach are within walking distance. Thanks to the hotel management and staff for the cleanliness and customer care!

this property is quaint. If you are over 5'5" everything is small., Shower, bed everything! The worst is we stayed for 5 days and no maid service unless you want to pay $25/each time.

We chose this hotel because the tub in the room, and the distance to the Edgewood golf course. Upon arrival, at first, the room presented nice. It looked like the pictures, but a lot smaller. We were put next to the laundry and supply room, so we constantly heard people slamming the door. The AC was subpar, the room was humid, and the unit would kick on and off as opposed to staying on like I had selected on the control panel. The jacuzzi tub was horrid, it blew out brown slime and the jets soaked an entire half of the room when I turned them on. The only vending machine on the premises was broken, so had no access to water. 1 single cup was left in our room, not 2. I went to the office to try and speak to someone, but there is no one on site, ever. The hotel itself is completely virtual, there is no live person to speak with, it’s all done via text message. I attempted to leave the 1st day, a couple hours after check in, and was told that I could leave, but I would not receive a refund, not even partial. My husband and I ended up leaving after the 1st night. I sent my concerns to the “e-concierge” and was basically told they’ll look into the issues but they didn’t offer any other solutions or attempt to make up for the problems or try to get us to stay. I do NOT recommend this hotel to anyone. I paid $982 for this place and completely regret it. Save yourself the disappointment and headache and book somewhere else. Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in, and that’s my honest review
