The property views and location are fabulous. The price is right for the conditions you get. If you like the finer things this isn't for you but if you don't mind outdated, it's cool. The bed was very good which was great.

The location of this property can't be beat. It was very clean and the staff was great. The on-site restaurant, Waterside Social, was amazing. Our only complaint is lack of maintenance. We were in the second floor and our balcony was a tetanus event waiting to happen. There were rusty nails coming out from the side walls from a by gone screen enclosure. The cable wires were strung willy nilly. These things would cost ZERO dollars to address. It's merely a lack of attention to detail.

The place is terribly run down. I heard the person behind the counter say that they are tearing it down next year. Not soon enough! Probably one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed in and I've traveled around the world.

On the water, nice view, tiki bar and restaurant (very busy), ability to rent a boat, kayak, jet ski. Very little parking, Balcony door wouldn’t open, once management got it open, it would lock again. Room was old and dirty, spider webs, hair, dust. Tv is challenging along with a remote that has batteries held in with tape. Bathroom door wouldn’t latch. Fridge wouldn’t keep anything cold and microwave worked but the display was broken so you couldn’t see what it was doing. Bed was not comfortable, pillows are not comfortable. Shower had more water pouring down the wall than out of the shower head. Water was nice and hot though.
