Amazing! Must do!
This stay was absolutely amazing! One of the best places we’ve ever stayed at with a price that was unbelievable! Granted I know it’s not during peak time but this hotel would still be worth it!

The only negative was that I was told that the pool would be resurfaced October 31,but they were working on it for 4 out of our 7 days and it was dusty and noisy

Great stay. Only unfortunate timing on our part was that the pool was closed for renovations. Would definitely stay there again.

I had booked two separate suites. One for the first two nights and another for the second two nights. The staff were extremely accommodating in arranging the switch so that we weren’t having to check out at 10 AM and check back in at 4 PM. All of the staff were extremely friendly, including maintenance, housekeeping, and front desk. The only unfortunate thing was that the pool deck was being worked on during our stay, but we were able to use the pool next door. Would definitely stay here again.

Everything went smoothly, and as always, everyone working at the resort was great. Our room view was awesome and was clean and comfortable. As we have been coming here for years it would be nice to see an investment in the furniture etc. It has been the same forever. Great location, laid back Birch Bay vibe.

We loved the location, the property was very clean and the staff was kind. We had room 202 facing the water with a large deck so we could enjoy the beautiful sunset and people watch. The condo had 3 rooms all with their own private bathroom and very spacious.

So much room!! A little dated but that is of no concern when it is as clean, convenient and spacious as this hotel! Plus, a more modern space would be so much more expensive. Had absolutely everything I look for in a hotel. Free and easy parking, too.
