6/10 Good

We really enjoyed the waterpark but if it wasn’t for that we wouldn’t have been satisfied at all. Our room floor was very dirty and the beds were not comfortable .
1-night trip

6/10 Good

While I liked being on the ground floor and that each of our rooms had its own front porch, the rooms themselves could use updating. The few outlets there were couldn’t hold a plug. The bathroom needs hooks for towels, wet swimsuits, etc, and a microwave would be useful. We were excited about the indoor pool and water park, however, the water looked green and cloudy, and my grandchildren kept finding hair, and bugs in the water.

8/10 Very good

A few issues

Lodge rooms need renovation. Bathroom smell of mildew/mold. The beds cratered &need replaced, but neither of us found them so poor we could not sleep. The room was large and clean, but overall a bit lacking. We enjoyed the location and the lodge feel.

I could go on and on and make this review very long how often do you get long reviews about good things how often do places that deserve good reviews not get them well I feel it's certainly this facilities turn to have a round of applause for its welcoming feel with great stuff curb appeal very comfort inn quiet clean inside and out I was very impressed I worked in HR for many years in hospitality as well aship and it is a rarity for me to be able to not find a flaw because you guys a che

2/10 Poor

Dirty

We unfortunately had some issues with the room and decided to leave shortly after checking in. We reserved a single quenn room specifically for personal reasons and were given a two bed room. When we asked if we could switch or be refunded they said they do not have any other rooms and can not refund but will change the sheets if it makes us feel better. We then heard house cleaning complaining about having to change the sheets. Pass not getting the reserved room type the room itself was grose. There was a clear musty mold smell coming from one of the beds, there was a large amount of dust was on the pine walls above the headboards and a few french fries on the floor making us feel like the room was not cleaned. The tv area has a jungle of visual wires on the dresser and the tv remote was found underneath the bed. The bathroom shows signs of water damage and potential mold along with a spider web one of the shower corners. The smell made my gf nauseous and we decided to cut our trip short a day instead if staying here. No refund was given even though room was grose. Property has serious potential but failed in upkeep and basic functions.

The staff is always accommodating and allows us to check in early year after year. The rooms are in excellent quality. They are very informative at the front desk about events, tours, shuttles, ferries. Always a pleasure to stay there.
