Great staff, very accommodating, even on check out day, let us stay parked, and use the bathroom and pool after our time at the beach!

Best location, best view of the bay! Worth it to get the room w a view. Older hotel but well maintained.

Best Dog-Friendly Hotel & the nicest staff!!!

We loved our stay here! It was incredibly dog-friendly and the employees we're more than accommodating. We ended up staying an extra night because we just didn't want to leave!

Comfort and relaxation

Joey, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good on a budget

They charged an extra $16 resort fee at check in. They then made me sign an agreement to be evicted without refund if any guest complains for noise for any reason. AC fan was loud and rackety and ran all night. Bay beach set up was super cool. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

No way to request bed linen change. They brought towels each day but didn’t empty trash or change sheets the entire week.

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly and helpful after hours

I had an issue where I left my laptop in the room, but the hotel then closed for the week I called the reservation line they sent somebody over who had to drive 30 minutes just so they can re-Treeve the laptop for me, which was very much appreciated very friendly there. Definitely recommend staying there again
Paul, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The sink in the bathroom did not drain! We had to us the kitchen sink to brush our teeth and wash our hands😳
Marie, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Unfortunate birthday trip

Room was flooding, was moved to a bayside room to compensate, went from King bed reserved for Fiance's birthday to a room with two small beds. Was told no other King room was possible. Listing said pool open in may, was not open. Keycards did not work for half the stay, to get into room you would need someone from the office with an administrative key every time. Hate writing this review because the staff was kind and seemed to be doing there best. Hopefully they figure things out for the summer season, but I can't honestly recommend them to anyone.
3-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property has a lot of potential since it’s right in the heart of Dewey, faces the bay on an attractive cove, and is a short walk to the beach. Unfortunately it is poorly run and not kept up. We were among several customers whose check in was significantly delayed because the rooms were not clean. No one at the front desk seemed to care, shrugging it off like it was par for the course. Worse, than the delay was the broken down, rattling AC system. It made such a horrible racket that we had to turn it off in order to sleep. This of course meant foregoing AC on a hot night. Consequently no one got much sleep. When I reported the problem to the front desk, the response was “yeah, those need to be replaced”. It astounds me that we spent over $350 a night for this place. I do not recommend it.
