Not happy with the trip
We booked this hotel just for the indoor pool and spa and drove outta town for Christmas and we couldn’t enjoy our stay . Me and my family were very disappointed and the web site should have stated things were not in working order before people and families make reservations.

Great stay
Young man at front desk was very polite. Perfect location for a one night stay. The restaurant “ the shack “ across the street was amazing and we were also able to watch the sunset from the dock. Very clean hotel!
