Very upset
I booked 2 nights at this property and because of reasons beyond my control, I was not able to make the trip. I phoned the hotel to cancel my reservation. I was told that I was too late to cancel for a full refund and they would retain one nights cost. I had fully intended to make the trip. The booking agent I dealt with has kindly refunded one nights cost and contacted this property to cover the other night of which they refused. In addition to our room for two nights, our group booked 3 more rooms. The whole experience has been very stressful where it needn't have been.

Paid too much for what is basically a motel. It is nicely renovated and the room was clean. Practical little kitchen. There is a beach nearby but you have to go across the campground or through the next door hotel to get to it. Free mini golf next door. Nice patio area to sit outside with tables and barbecue. Disappointing to see people lie on the L-shaped sofas like they were alone in the world leaving no room for others. The rooms behind the motel have a sitting area. When I got there, the person before me paid substantially less per night and he was next door. I could not understand why we paid more. I was told it's because we booked through Expedia and that rates change each day.

When we booked, we booked a small room and didn’t realize it was that small. They moved us to a large room. No extra charge charge very nice.

The TV is okay. Shower kind of poor quality. It is inexpensive, clean, pretty good bed. They allowed a late check-out and if you want to do mini golf next door, it is free with your rental.
