Mentioned that to them so they can repair it. Staff seemed friendly. Not enough parking when motel near capacity.

Did you find this helpful?|Stayed at waterfront inn , the rest was easy to get to . Ferry to the island was affordable. Once on island rented bikes my 6yr old had fun. We stayed right off the beach, weather was 70 and raining , still manageable as weather is controles by Mother Nature ! All in all we had a great family trip, wee want to make it an annual trip . Would love to discover more to expose are son to life outside of big city living .These comments are from a verified stay9 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|Room was nice, although the bed felt like sleeping on a wood board. Our last night at Waterfront Inn there were no employees on the premises. We needed more towels and had no way way to get any. When we went to check out the next morning there was still not a single employee in sight and a note on door telling us to go check out at a different hotel. A little unprofessional but overall a nice stay.These comments are from a verified stay7 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|No more coffee offered. Wasn’t to happy about that.

But, those are just minor. Great cityThese comments are from a verified stay3 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The price was amazing! The room was clean. The only negative from our whole visit was at the water park. The middle pool looked murky and smelled strongly of chemicals. The county inspector was there for a walk-through and he told my husband the water tested safely so we swam in it. The water turned my silver rings almost black. That only happens with very strong chemicals in my experience. We would definitely stay again though. I love the waterfront inn. We stayed there last year as well.These comments are from a verified stay4 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|One of the chairs on the balcony was broken and I almost hurt myself and the patio screen door didnt work so we couldnt enjoy the fresh air in our room.

Did you find this helpful?|We stayed for 4 nights. I believe we were given the remodeled rooms in the blue building which were very nice on the inside. They do not have the continental breakfast and their beds are only full size not queen as advertised. The two desk workers that we meet were very helpful.These comments are from a verified stay4 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|The front desk lady who checked us in was as polite as could be! We appreciated the upgrade to a lakeside view room and were very comfortable. The only problem we had was that the patio door got stuck closed on the second day of our stay and we couldn't open it. But overall, it was a great home base for a wedding weekend!These comments are from a verified stay2 people found this helpful. Did you find this helpful?|We loved the beachfront and that there were fire pits on the beach! What a treat to have a campfire right by the lake! The housekeeping staff were very attentive to our needs! The room did smell like stale smoke - very happy to leave the window and door open.
