Don't bother...

Bed and pool were good, after that, down hill...Lied to by manager Edith via email that both bedrooms have tvs, they don't. Playground is missing, couldn't use firepit, exercise room is now a store under construction? Upper floor was 87° when we got there. No elevator to bring luggage up, still use keys for room and outside doors. Effort is there to remodel, its just mismanaged and drown in misrepresentation. I'll stick with Newport Resort in Egg Harbor.

Okay stay - no exercise room -hard bed

The place was cute. Extremely disappointed there was no exercise room. It advertised having an exercise room. The bed was extremely hard. There was a family ping pong area and the lobby offered family games.

Anniversary Weekend

The check in was easy and receptionist was friendly. Overall very clean and appealing. The bed was a bit too firm for us, but the room was comfortable and clean. The receptionist during the day was less than friendly. Would most likely stay again.

Winter Wonderland

Quiet, relaxing feel. There was snow so it made it a winter wonderland. We were late arriving, but the email was so clear on where to find our keys and room. Oh and the hot tub felt sooo good after being outside. The pool was very clean. There was a community space you could sit by the fire. You be we will be back again!

Place is great. Gives you that nostalgic 90’s family vacation hotel vibe in the best way possible. Everything is clean. Stewart and Ron were both very helpful and friendly (despite being a Bears fan). Have been twice with family and will go back again.

The room had a strong smell. The first room they assigned us the smell was even worse, we complained and gave us an upgrade. Old carpet and old furniture. We did not want to touch anything. We were supposed to stay 2 day, but we could not resist, we left after one night even if we paid in full.
