The resort was sufficient to our needs. The room was clean, staff was attentive, and the resort is within walking distance of the beach, restaurants and convenience stores. The kitchen needs some updating as it's a bit rusted but still works perfectly. I'm only giving it 4 stars because the pool area is open to everyone who's not even a guest at the resort. For 2 nights out of the 4 that we stayed there, there were kids making such a racket on the pool at 8pm, slamming their pool noodle on the water that makes it sound like fireworks and turns out they were not even staying there. Our room happened to be next to the pool . We spoke to the front desk on duty and the response we got was "Sorry, they're kids but we're going to close the pool in 30 minutes." Another hotel guest was making the same complaint and not sure if the front desk on duty spoke to the kids or the parents of the kids about the noise they're making. Book a room on the upper levels to lessen the noise if you can. All the rooms face the pool so the noise is unavoidable.

Very good location and staff very nice. Room clean but issues: holes in shower curtain- no liner, flickering bathroom lights, sliding glass door handle broken, very thin rough towels. Nothing mentioned about no elevator so did not expect to carry bags up to the third floor. Very nice view of lake from room

Just okay

No elevators, toilet was wobbling out of floor, bathroom door wouldnt close, front door ya needed to shove shut or it wouldnt stay closed. Even though there is a kitchenette, there was no pots or pans,.. for 400.00 a night i should have stayed at the marriot. The bay area was no where near what their pictires show. Customer beware, no better then a motel 8 to lay your head

Our favorite thing about the hotel was the view from our balcony. It was so peaceful and it was the perfect place to watch the sunset over the bay. The location was perfect - once you parked, there was no need to use your car again. The Ocean was 2 short blocks away and there was a great assortment of restaurants in walking distance. Some of the faciliy is a bit dated, but it was clean and the staff was super nice and helpful. We will be returning!
Sunset from our balcony.
Pier on the property. Also a great place to watch the sunset.

Great location/staff, decent, quiet, allows pets

The best thing was the location, right on the bay (we had a view from our balcony) and 2 blocks from the beach. The staff was very friendly and helpful and they allow pets. Lots of close restaurants/nightlife/shops, but fairly quiet at the same time. The room was clean and bed comfortable (not new or luxury, but decent fixtures/furniture/appliances). Stairs/hallways could have been cleaner (though they are outside). Appliances worked well (though we didn't use the stove/oven).

The views on the bayside are amazing at this super friendly, fabulous place to stay in Dewey! Walkable to everywhere & everything. The pool is super clean as are the rooms. But the very best part is the helpful, attentive, above & beyond staff. Everyone including front desk, housekeeping & maintenance are available & happy to help. Really would like to keep this hotel a secret for fear I won’t be able to get reservations. But it’s too hard not to share
