I didn't like the fact that I was unable to sleep due to horribly loud noises. It sounded like a train or motorcycle was going to come through the wall. It was so bad that I left at 4 this morning 9/8/22 to come home.

We're sorry you couldn't sleep due to external noises beyond our control- sometimes beach goers can be loud and create a noisy outdoor environment, but it really shouldn't reflect poorly on our establishment. Wouldn't you agree?

Great fast experience from the desk to the room. Desk clerk was full of helpful info about the beach and extras. We celebrated our 5th anniversary here and Dry Dock was the only place who didn't double the price for only staying two nights. Hebrews scripture on the front sign made us feel we were in the right place. The only downer was the group next to us seemed to be there only to smoke. I know everyone needs to enjoy their trip but we were never able to use the 2nd floor seats beside our door. Policy says no smoking inside the rooms,however a designated smoking area would be nice. Just my thought. We will use Dry Dock again soon.

Double room was super nice and exceptionally clean, this place is more than expected and I hope to be able to return soon, As a rating of 1-5 stars, I'd have to say 6! SO much more than expected at the remarkably affordable price, I simply cannot say how much I appreciate the owner and all staff including housekeeping because they were absolutely awesome! I live on disability and can't afford the high priced hotels, but this Dry Dock had the feeling of a luxury hotel on an economy wallet, but what I think the one thing I liked best is that all the staff make you feel like a person and not just a statistic.

We would love to hear why you were dissatisfied, so we can correct it. Cannot track that you were a customer at our establishment. Thank-you

Although we asked for towels to be changed out in just a few minutes when we’d be leaving for the day, when y’all s sweet housekeeping crew knocked on the door, but they never came back...:/ but not a tragedy.
