Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our room was clean and the whole place was quiet despite it being a holiday weekend. The pool was closed for the season but I'd like to try it someday. There were plenty of places just a short drive (10 minutes or less) away for some great seafood! Also, there are two mini gplf places to choose from! The lighthouse boat tour from Perkins Cove is lovely, too. Close to everything!

Room was clean overall, but lots of things were left to be desired. Flickering light in the fridge, baseboard trim missing in the bathroom, a landlord style caulk job in the tub that only went 1/3 of the way around, an alarm clock (i’m assuming from the previous occupants) went off at 6 AM in the other room on our first night, and the WIFI was unusable. No hardware reset would solve that, it’s simply too far from the source. The pet fee was egregious on top of the cost, given the state of our room/stay. I will say the outside is good looking from the front and the parking is plentiful. It is a cozy little place, that’s for sure.

Spent 3 nights in a two bedroom cottage (#6). Convenient location, clean rooms and dog friendly! The accommodations are basic but met our needs just fine. The rain head shower was great. Thankfully, we brought our own toiletries (shampoo/conditioner/body wash) as the ones they supply are tiny. The refrigerator died the last day there and we had to toss some things out but hey….stuff happens. Would absolutely stay here again.

The room had a refrigerator in the microwave, which was very convenient and easy access to the room as you’re able to park right out in front of your door. It was pretty quiet and convenient to the areas we wanted to visit.

Pet friendly👍Booked a cabin that smelled musty and fake flowery. No screens on windows. Asked to change to hotel room. Windows wouldn’t open. Room was never serviced (3 days). We did finally ask someone walking by for towels/soap. Booked through 3rd party so couldn’t get cost difference reimbursed. Wouldn’t stay there again.

Generally a go-to place - convenient and lower price. This time, room smelled like moth balls, I imagine a treatment for the many pets that stay here. It was my first time with it. If it happens again, I’ll move on to a different hotel.
