    Outdated kitchenette
    Valerie L.

    The staff was friendly and the location was great, however I do not recommend staying there. It is under new ownership and recently underwent a renovation. Well, I fail to comprehend what was renovated: the electrical outlets wouldn't hold my charger (it literally fell right out of the outlet), everything was old and outdated, the lock to our room was loose, bathroom racks were rusted, cigarette burns on the tub, etc.

    Dirt on a towel used to clean kitchen floor ( no sponges provided)

    2 bedroom suite w pullout uncomfortable couch. Beds were decent but soft . Kitchen only had two pans . We knew from experience to bring our own . Silverwear wasn't even in tray just thrown in cupboard . Some plates . Floor dirty . I get they couldn't clean while were there but how about before?? They spray it heavy w air spray . Deck was nice, a few people smoking weed and plenty smoking cigarettes. It's like they gave up here . For all rye money made -350/nt- fix the place a little?!!

    What a complete $hi#hole. Dirty dirty dirty. Every tiny room is disgusting. We paid over 800 for three nights and I can not believe how they can get away with charging this much for such a seedy place. It was truly a shocking surprise and we have to get a refund, can't stay here!!! Carpets are so bad I would never walk on them barefoot. Couch just as bad. Sliding door and windows look as if they have never been cleaned! Just so so disappointed. Do yourself a big favor and DO NOT STAY HERE. It looks nothing like the pictures the company posts.

    The fake chandellar only works when you shut the door! Electric problem!!

    Beware!! This place is a Shipwreck!! Carpet stained The place smell so nasty.Also black mold around the bathroom sink, the tile in the bathroom is all black, the fake chandellar wouldnt go on only when you shut the door it went on. Nasty Place defintly not like the pictures on the web site. Save your money and go elsewhere

    Great Customer Service, close to the beach, nice views, reasonable price. The decks are nice to relax on, after a day at the beach. Rooms have kitchens with utensils you may need to cook a meal or snack, free ice, plenty of towels, friendly staff..loved it!!

    Beautiful flowers

    Big hotel. 2 pools, bbq area, gorgeous sun deck. Rooms are large and clean. Close to the beach and all shops and restaurants. Coffee shop right across the street. Plenty of parking.

    For the price you pay off season (the only time i have stayed here), the room is great! If you want a one night getaway with a nice Jacuzzi suite, a comfy bed and a porch, this is the place to go. Is it super fancy? NO. For $100 for the night, I enjoy it in the winter as a fun romantic getaway place. The rooms have always been clean when i have stayed, the staff is very nice and flexible. Its nice and quiet which i like, the tubs have always been clean and in working condition and the beds are very comfy. I like the cable selection although a bigger flat screen would definitely be worth the investment for them. Overall, Ill continue to go off season and I would like to try it in season as they have an outdoor pool. I wish they had a restaurant or bar on site also.

    This is the most disgusting place I've ever stayed looks nothing like the trip advisor page. A true disappointment to this location.

I watched him give personal items away to guests, carry items up and down stairs for people and I don't know if he ever stops helping people. From what I can tell that is true. He was there every day I was this summer. I stayed 3 separate occasions this year for a total of 15 nights. Joe seems to be the only person working in the office open to close (7 days a week). What I will say is whoever owns the mainsail now should get this guy some help. He is strict but so was Diane and Chet who were the best owners. Rules are a great way to preserve the mainsail. Joe if you see this I hope your leg heals fast and thank you for all your help. I know you said to say staff if I left a review but you deserve some credit. You better be getting paid for all those hours you give to others for free, because you're missing out spending that time with your little daughter and family. Keep up the good work. I'll be seeing you in 2025. Positives - The people who work there - Safe - Clean - The family feeling -Location - Still open (October 23) - Price was very cheap compared to that of recent years. Negatives - Wifi is terrible in my cottage. - Pool is closed (October) - My room smelt like paint, but that's also a positive as it seems they are painting and doing upgrades. - Cottages need some updates.

Location 5/5 Accommodation 4.8/5 Staff 5/5 Value 4.7/5 It's located on the corner just one street in from the beach. So it's quieter at night but still a short walk to the ocean and food spots. Even better, you're adjacent to the Casino Ballroom. It was cool to check out the tour buses arriving as we walked to breakfast. We stayed here for a show and it was convenient to be so close. Every interaction with the staff was helpful and pleasant - phone calls to in person! The price is on par with other spots in the area but here you get a parking spot, pool, and everything is clean and new. Over $550 for two nights is still outrageous, but that is life in 2022. Comfortable bed alert!! Both my husband and I had very restful sleeps (I'm a stomach sleeper and slept awesome!) The rooms were just was we needed although it would have been nice to have a small table and chairs in the room. There's a perfect space by the window in the room for that. 2 night minimum stay...so we made a beach weekend out of our concert night. We left saying, "if we ever come back let's stay here again".

The rooms are evidently undergoing some renovations; however, I don't think there is anyway to renovate this to today's expectations and standards. The heating and cooling unit is loud enough that if you are trying to watch TV you have to turn the volume up when it kicks in and down when it cycles down. The floor had a downhill tilt (not as noticeable in shoes but definitely if you are barefoot). A laminate wood floor has been added as an "update" at sometime, which would have been the time to level up the slope. The ceiling and areas around the heat/air unit all have crazy gaps and need better trim work. Let's talk ventilation and insulation. I swear the ducts just connect one room to another. We listened to the kids next door carrying on till after 11 and the parents evidently didn't care about other guests and the running up and down the halls and hollering during other times was like they were in our room with us. Our room was over the function room and I think the music was louder in our room than it was when we had been downstairs. The advertised "shared microwave" is just one in the lobby, not even one on each floor by the ice machines. We attended a function on Saturday night in the banquet hall. The serving staff was great and were hustling their butt's off. The food was a giant hit or miss!! Those who had pre-ordered the grilled sirloin had the home run meal. The rest of us struck out. The chicken was pounded so thin that it was dry all the way through except for a silver dollar sized area, those who got the ravioli found them to be under stuffed and lacked any kind of sauce so were also dry. If that wasn't bad enough everything was luke warm, but because I was hungry I ate the broccoli and penne . The salds were good, veggies were crispy. Dressing was spotty on some of them and well dressed on others. For the outrageous meal price for events, I am sure we will not be back. When we checked out there was no " how was your stay inquiry from staff, just a "there are no charges so you are all set"

NO restaurants were open in the entire building with the exception of one for one day out of the 4 we were there for. They charge you for the use of chairs and their coffee and valet $50 per day no matter if you use any of it or not. The room was extremely small which was ok we can handle that, we asked to have our room cleaned each day was only cleaned one day, asked for fresh towels 3 times before we actually finally got them, no blow dryer, had to steel one from another room that was open for renovations. Over all the amount was way over priced for the surrounding dummy area. If you wanna charge top rates at least have things to offer for that top cost. Open your restaurants have more to offer.
