Incident Statement** **Date:** June 29, 2026 **Time:** Approximately 1242 hours **Reporting…read moreParty:** John Boucher On June 29, 2026, at approximately 1242 hours, I, John Boucher, a monthly resident at K&M RV Resort, was riding my personal electric scooter through the park. As I rode past the K&M office, I encountered Bruce Atiken, the husband of the park manager, Nancy Aitken. Mr.Aitkens yelled, "Slow down, slow down," and stopped me near the office, Aitken then proceeded at aggressively and got in my face, he then started yelling again, that I was exceeding the speed limit while operating my electric scooter. During the encounter, Bruce Aitken and Nancy Aitken raised their voices and continued yelling at me. I asked both individuals to de-escalate the situation and remain professional; however, they continued yelling. I then asked if they could articulate or provide an estimate of how fast they believed I was traveling on my electricscooter that goes nor more then mabey 13 miles per hr and im 250 pound man. They did not answer my question and continued telling me to "slow down." At that point, I chose to end the interaction by riding away from the area to avoid any further escalation. No further contact or issues occurred following the incident. This statement is a true and accurate summary of the events as I observed them on the above date and time. **Reporting Party:** John Boucher **Date:** June 29, 2026 Km Travel inn resort needs to look into the park manger. These two elderly people are unhinged and unethical, neither of them have perfesionallism or nor how to entract with public or guest of the resort. Other guest that live here state they dont fill comfortable around the Aitkens.

We are members now because other locations have been great. We really enjoy our stays and everyone is friendly. We won't be back to this place they clearly didn't like people who weren't regulars there. It's a shame.

we came here last Sept with 8 people and 9 horses. we loved it and are coming back this year…read more Plenty of room for our trailers , horses loved the beach. Carol was super nice to work with.

This place is pure magic. The magic is not produced by a wand, but by people--good people. Okay,…read moreand ponies and puppies. But mostly by people. There was some brief confusion when I booked the reservation. I had not realized it was a "horse hotel" with multiple stalls and also campsites as well as rooms. My disappointment was replaced by pure joy upon learning that humans can stay here too, as well as hybridized beings like myself (a centaur)! Everything here is done the old fashioned way, the right way: with kindness, trust, love and simplicity. Staying here will make your heart ache for a simpler time when folks were able to conduct business with a handshake, where their first priority was just treating each other how they want to be treated themselves, with dignity and decency. We came here almost my accident. I'll be honest. Ocean Acres was not in my first, second--or even top five--picks of places to go. We were aiming at much further up the coast. I could find almost nothing and what I could find was neither affordable nor desirable. We did not want to go to some sterile resort where you exist to be milked and sent on your way. We wanted to be in a place that was family-owned and served a purpose beyond just making money as efficiently as possible. We wanted to be somewhere that had actual personality, not just a hollow façade with a minimal, lazy attempt to lure visitors and nothing else. Ocean Acres Horse Hotel was--is--the jackpot on all accounts. Because of a recent death of a family member after a prolonged illness, it was important to be in a place with healing energy. I had a good feeling the moment I navigated my way to Ocean Acres' minimalist website and saw they have no automated process for automated or online bookings. Everything is done personally, over the phone. The owner, Carol did not even ask for my last name, the make of my vehicle or a credit card to reserve the room. She asked us to pay in cash when we arrived. When we did arrive, the first thing I did was try to pay, but she insisted we wait until morning to do so! She wanted us to be able to settle in, relax, and get a good night's sleep first. WHAT?! My thought was: who the hell are you and what time period do you hail from? Where is your time machine? Such a small gesture, but to be endowed with that level of trust by a stranger doing business with me...I cannot think of another time in my 46 years that that's happened. Again, you may think I am making too much of it, but being shown such trust and kindness so quickly had an immediate healing effect on us. It is impossible to discuss Ocean Acres without talking about Carol and her husband, the owners. I don't know how they do it. I could barely keep up with all the adventures they shared with us. Carol is a polymath of the first rank. Her amazing breakfasts held us in good stead the entire time we were there. We ate with the other guests--sometimes sharing a table--in their family dining room! Whilst cooking up innovative and astounding savory and sweet detectibles, Carol regaled us with stories about her life, her work, her relationship to horses, the wheeling and dealing required to get hay. We were also surrounded by her work--stunning oil portraits and bronze sculpture, for which she had rightly won awards. Carol and her husband knew we were hurting, and they pulled out all the stops to help us. They lent us their own, personal ebikes (which were so much fun to take on country roads, tooling around cranberry bogs, little ponds and abandoned farmsteads), Her cooking was phenomenal. She knew we loved animals but had none of our own, so she introduced us to their collie dog Price, with whom we quickly became BFF's in a neverending game of fetch, told us what foods her mini-pony (or was it a mini-donkey?) likes to be fed. And of course, there were other people and their beautiful steeds all around. Just being in the presence of so many happy critters and people had a very good effect on us; it was so needed. The property begins at the highway, off which a short, paved driveway leads to and terminates behind the main house, where the owners live and some of the rooms are. Then, a dirt road goes straight back (west) about a mile--all the way to the sea--passing by a beautiful barn, stalls, campsites, forest, meadows, a pond and other bucolic scenes on the way. Strolling the road on the property (and biking on it) was one of my favorite things to do there. If you ever pined for things (and people) with a personal touch, if you ever just wanted to drop out of the game and NOT be treated like a number, a walking phat money bag with a dollar sign over your head, if you miss interacting like a regular human with other regular humans, if you ever needed some puppy time but had no puppy of your own, if you ever wanted to feel safe, breathe in serenity like it floated in the ethers, if you ever just wanted a really damn good breakfast...Ocean Acres is THE place for you.

I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews, and I want to start by saying that every employee I dealt…read morewith was polite and courteous. The room was also clean when we arrived, the price was reasonable, and the location was convenient. We especially loved having the Fishing Hole restaurant next door -- breakfast there was excellent. There were, however, a few things that made the stay less comfortable than I would have hoped. The motel is directly beside the train tracks, and trains continued running into the evening, including after 10 p.m. Because they have to sound their horns when coming through, I was woken up more than once. Obviously the motel can't control the trains, but it is something light sleepers should be aware of. Laundry was another issue. We were told the motel laundry had been damaged in a fire a couple of months earlier and had not yet been repaired. We were directed to the laundry facility at the camper/RV area next door, which is not affiliated with the motel, but unfortunately those machines were also out of service. For a longer stay, not having a reliable way to do laundry was inconvenient. The other concern was housekeeping. During our stay, the room was not serviced unless we specifically went to the office and requested it. We had to ask for fresh towels and washcloths, trash removal, and bedding changes rather than having those things handled routinely. Overall, the room itself was clean, the staff was pleasant, and the price was reasonable, so I feel three stars is fair. I just think future guests, especially those planning a longer stay, should be aware of the train noise, laundry situation, and the need to request housekeeping.

Well, so far so good. A Fuel station and little store next door…read more . Reception was a very nice and charming woman. Fully sold out on a Friday night. But this room is so minimalist. No Art, tiny wall tv. The Wi-Fi password is beyond complicated. I ll just go cell. Trains and announcement horns a block away. Hope it's only a couple tonight. Last one was a 1/2 hour ago. It will do but I wouldn't send family here. Update: The train runs behind the hotel. Maybe every 4 hours. And since there is a crossing with no guards the horn blow is long and slow. We won't be back.

I love finding NICE, CLEAN HOTELS!!! It's like hitting the jackpot! I bring my BLACKLIGHT, Lysol…read moreand my own pillow cases when I go to hotels BUT I didn't even need it for this hotel! They have clean, cared for rooms! You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in having a nice hotel. 24 HOUR GYM- 1 person at a time right now. It's the biggest gym I have ever seen in a hotel. Very nice and spacious. More importantly it's clean! Pool & jacuzzi- they check your temperature before entering only certain amount of guest at a time. Large pool and perfect jacuzzi! My kids loved it. No one was ever using the pool either so it was perfect. The last few hotels we went too did not have a hot jacuzzi so myself and my kids were really happy to enjoy a nice Heated Jacuzzi set just right! To Go HOT!! I REPEAT - TO GO HOT BREAKFAST!! Thank you HOLIDAY INN for providing a safe way for us to eat a hot breakfast during COVID. My favorite thing about the holiday inns is there pancake machine. OMG, the pancakes are so good. **Customer Service - was great!!! I love a hotel that has it all! We really enjoyed our stay. ** Dog friendly hotel is also a Plus!

My sister Sharron works at the casino and drives the shuttle van. I'm going back.....the employees were awesome and accommodating.....

Some things I think others looking up this place will find useful:…read more *Each unit has entrances on both sides of the building, one facing the bay and one facing the other side. So: no need to worry about getting stuck with a unit that does not face the bay. *There are only 18 units in the whole hotel, each of them the same size: one bedroom, one bathroom, a living room with an electric fireplace, and a kitchenette. We always seek out places with kitchens or kitchenettes so we can cook in our unit are won't have to eat out every meal. One slight word of caution, though: these kitchenettes have a microwave and a stove top but no oven; and the refrigerator is pretty small. *The living room couch is also a hideabed, so the rooms technically sleep four each. There is a TV in both the living room and the bedroom. *The view of the bay is NOT a view of a beach, but there are some very positive things about this. First, the nightly rates are reasonable regardless of the time of year. Second, beyond a grassy area in front of the motel are tide flats, which fill up with water twice every 24 hours, at high tide. It's really fun to see the change when you're paying attention. Beyond the tide flats is the man-made Shoalwater Bay Berm, created to save Tokeland from the long term effects of increasingly severe weather events. The tide flats area between the hotel and the berm, that gets filled with water, is called Empire Spit. Google the area's tides for the day(s) you are there and you will know when to look for when the tide flats fill with sea water, as it doesn't stay full for very long. *The hotel is owned by the Shoalwater Bay Tribe and is on their land, as is the Shoalwater Bay Casino (the smallest casino I have ever been in). If you get a Players Club Card from the casino, which you do not have to do any gambling in the casino to get, you can use it to get 10% off your hotel booking. *The hotel has an outdoor pool that is heated, and a hot tub that is protected from the elements by a clear dome. There were no storms the two nights we stayed there, but I bet it would be fun to watch one from that hot tub. There is also a communal kitchen space for larger parties that can be booked for an extra fee. *I have seen other reviews complain about the lack of regular housekeeping, but this was not a big deal to us. And if you need fresh linens or toiletries, all you have to do is ask and the incredibly friendly staff will happily hook you up. In short, Tradewinds on the Bay is a modest place to stay that is also quite the hidden gem.
