HORRIBLE! Went to check in and there was a sign on the door saying the office was closed with a sign to get our keys out of the "lock" box with the code shown on the sign. The "lock" box was unlocked with our keys in an envelope with our room number. We got to the room and it wasn't cleaned. Someone apparently started cleaning it and then left. No sheets on the bed and a dirty comforter on the chair. We called the number on the paper they gave us multiple times and it just went to voicemail. Same thing when calling the main number. Don't go here. It's dirty and unsafe.
This is what the room looked like when we arrived.

They put the lockbox code on the sign so anyone can unlock the box and get your keys. Dangerous! Someone could be waiting in your room.

I love the location—just about right on the beach. Love the enclosed patio, the spacious room, and the pet friendliness. My only problem was the little fridge making a constant loud noise. I told them at the front desk so that when I go back, I won’t get the same room. They said they’d get a new fridge by then. That would impress me!

Amenities listed were not available, very noisy, and the bed was extemely hard. It sounded like there was something in our walls, like a squirrel or mouse cjewing all night long. The price charged was almost $40 higher than quoted and there was no communication back when I reached out prior to the stay. Wonderful location and has potential but needs some serious work to get it up-todate and offering what has now become standards at most hotels.

Unfortunately, the Poulins - the decades-long previous owners - are rolling over in their graves now… The Sea Latch has gone completely downhill since TP has owned it. When we showed up, the soap had been used in the bathroom, and we had no shower curtain. Additionally, there are cracks in the shower, floor, concrete… It’s not pretty… that’s for sure.
