The little spot was a nice getaway for us. The ambiancs is cute cottage like, filled with beautiful antique decor. Our room had a balcony out the back that sat along the woods. They were very clean, meticulously so, and the area was nice and quiet. Its a nice spot to stay for the price, and an even better spot for couples who are one a weekend getaway to the dunes.

Quaint hotel, comfortable, met our needs

Quaint hotel, seems like it is slowly being updated and refurbished. Rooms were comfortable but they could not accommodate our adjoining request, but did give us next door rooms but only available on second floor, and no elevator made it a bit difficult. Pool was also down a flight of stairs. Rooms were clean, but balconies were very dirty/spider webs, etc. they need a good power wash and repaint. Same with pool area, needs some attention to walls, doors, patio. Breakfast was good, enough options for family. Cost was a lot for the area but very limited options, so that’s probably why. Uno pizza next door was yummy but service very slow. Everyone at the hotel was very nice, even had some fun little plastic animals hid around on Sat morning that the grandsons loved searching for.

The property is being worked on to make the experience better. Is an old place they are trying to make look newer. Ceiling fan in room was covered in dust. Bring your own pillows as I had to use 3 to get comfortable. The outdoor swing area is very nice.

Do not recommend to stay.

Poorly maintained and lack of service. Namely: bed had spotty sheet, all doors need extra push to open, the shower was half working, there are spiders in the bathroom and spider webs on the balcony, and finally a sharp nail was sticking out right at the exit to a balcony. The replaced only the sheet and all the rest ignored. Do not recommend to stay.
