It was a fantastic experience at this place. The people at the front desk were amazing.

We stayed here 3 nights and the location is amazing. It is quiet and walking distance to beach. There is a cute ice cream shop across street and lots of eating options down the road as well as the grove on the beach property. I am from Texas and when I found out the hotel does not have air conditioning that was a little shock. But the lady at the front gave us an extra fan to put in window ( which helped a lot)
We would definitely go back and try one of the cabins on property next time! Also they have free coffee (no breakfast) and a nice hot tub!

We had a room down by the beach. We stayed from Friday - Monday. There was live music in the afternoons on Friday-Sunday. You are right next to the beach and as such, we had a lot of traffic to/from the beach. It was very quiet overnight, but traffic started to the beach as soon as the sun came up. The room was OK. Bedding was clean, but the floors were very dirty. Like keep your shoes on dirty…. Check-in was great. Front desk was professional and helpful. If you want a room RIGHT ON THE BEACH, with with live music during the day, this is a good option. If you want clean floors and room amenities,

It was a very cute hotel. Cozy and quiet. Not great if you’re bringing a family. Also, no tv, or microwave. Very basic.

The only thing I can think to say negative is the pillows are flat. Everything else was great.

I was looking forward to staying here because it was very close to the lake. However the facility was very disappointing. The carpet all over the facility including the bedrooms is beyond filthy. I had to make sure my family had sandals at all times. The bedding had blood stains and were not very white or clean looking. However what was most disappointing is that they had no power outlets in the bathroom for a blow dryer or hot tools. Every morning I had to go downstairs to do my hair in the lobby bathroom. Not to mention no TV, no iron or board. Extremely disappointed with this Hotel especially the cleaning and lack of basics.We booked for 3 nights and we could only bare to stay there for 2, so we left only. I truly do not recommend this place unless they spend time on renovations on some basic necessities.

Cabin like feel in a hotel. No tv in rooms which was refreshing. You can hear people walking around and showers starting up from other rooms but the building is 100 years old so that’s to be expected. Bed was comfortable and rooms were warm. We loved it and got what we were looking for. Everyone was so kind and the beautiful fireplace in the lobby is a great feature onsite to sit around. Free WiFi and not too far from the lake. We will definitely stay here again.
