The hotel provided a lovely experience with spacious, clean suites and a stunning view right by the ocean. The staff were extremely pleasant throughout our stay. However, the kitchen was lacking essential items, which was disappointing considering the cost. The location was convenient with beautiful surroundings, but some minor maintenance issues and limited amenities in the suite detracted from an otherwise enjoyable stay.

This resort offers an amazing oceanfront location with clean, spacious suites and friendly service. While the views are breathtaking and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay, the property could really benefit from an update, as some features seem rather dated. The price for the accommodations feels a bit steep given the current condition of the furnishings and amenities.

During my recent stay, I was really let down by the service, which was quite slow and unresponsive, especially at check-in. The room had its issues, such as lingering coffee in the pot and inadequate air conditioning. However, I did enjoy the comfortable bed and the great views it offered. Overall, I found this hotel to be lacking in service despite some redeeming qualities.

The hotel has a stunning location along the waterfront, and the suites offer beautiful views of the bay. However, the property is currently undergoing renovations, which has impacted the overall experience. While the restaurant serves good food, service can be slow during busy times. I recommend visiting once the renovations are complete for a more pleasant stay.

We stayed at this hotel recently for a hockey tournament and were a bit let down by the overall value for the area, especially during the off-season. While the lobby area had some nice upgrades and the staff was friendly, the room we stayed in was quite outdated and not very comfortable. There were several amenities that we expected but had to request separately, which felt frustrating. Overall, I think with some renovations and better attention to detail, this place could really improve.

Rooms

5.0

The room was outdated and not very comfortable. The bedding and pull-out couch looked worn, and I was glad we didn't have to use the couch.

Service

The staff were friendly, but we had issues with the front desk regarding early check-in that negatively impacted our experience.

Location

The hotel is a little off the main highway, which might be ideal for relaxing in the summer, but not very convenient for winter activities.

Dining

The dining experience was very good at the on-site restaurant with a beautiful view, though the breakfast options could definitely be improved.
