Front desk staff was very helpful and professional. Advertised sound proof rooms, but it was loud due to some big groups even after quiet hours. As you exit the lobby, the converted roof was draining water which left a big puddle.

The place really needs some maintenance and cleaning. Also, the “private beaches” are so dirty that you can’t really walk or enjoy the awesome view.

I booked this months in advance. Upon arriving, we were told that our room was under construction and we were being moved to a suite in the Clarion. At the Clarion, we were told the suite was not available, and made to sign some paper saying we were doing this of our own free will. And finally ended up in a room without functioning air conditioning.

The tv remote was not working for room 209. For the tv near the entry door. We were there at 1:30 pm, but could not check in. We were told the check in time was 4 pm. I have never experienced not being able to check in 1:30 or 2 pm , any time before anywhere in the world. So, it was surprising. Nice lakeside location. Clean and comfortable rooms. Like the hotel overall.

They have the best lakeside views, and the rooms are perfect for a family of three traveling with a kid that needs their own space. The kitchenette and bathroom divide the suite to give privacy to either bed.

They gave me a room that looked like it had never been cleaned at all. There were already a lot of dead and live bugs, and the bathroom faucet was broken. I had a child and a schedule, so I couldn't just spray bug spray and change the room. However, the fire alarm kept ringing for several hours in the early morning, so we talked to the staff, but they couldn't solve it and we couldn't sleep at all. They offered to change my room at 5 a.m., so I didn't think it meant much since it was already getting dark, but I ended up changing rooms around 6 a.m. and only slept for an hour. I kept asking the staff about compensation, but they told me to talk to the manager. I gave up on my morning schedule and waited, but in the end, the manager never came. I checked out and left believing the manager said he would contact me when I got to work, but a week has passed and there is still no contact. I never want to go again. It was the worst hotel.

Weekend get together
Beautiful views. Advertised as 2 bedroom, actually separate areas. Rooms large. No breakfast. Beach access. Not crowded. Easy check in. Noise was a factor. Daughter reported kids running in halls at 2 am. We heard people exiting to beach as we were right next to that exit. Heard people walking late a night above us and someone playing music loud at 3 am. Overall was clean. Close to downtown area, shopping and walking.
