Good location, allowed pets, no problems. This was there 3rd year there and they have made improvements. Can't beat the price during the season. AC was very noisy but discovered the room would stay comfortable if turned off for the night. We will stay there again.

The view on the bayside side was breathtaking, we felt like we were on an island. Very accommodating for our dog! The staff was great, our room was very clean with a very comfortable bed. The property could use be a bit more appealing. The grass could have been cut ( as well as the mushrooms growing in the grass) the halls needed blown from debris . Maybe with some updating, with the view and location it could be one of the best hotels in Dewey!!!!!

I booked this property specifically because it mentions kayaks as an amenity. I might have missed something in the description because once I got to the hotel they said the kayak is a different entity and there are fees ($35 per person per hour I believe). Rooms were ok, slight damp smell in the rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful though. Location is good.

Room was clean and we had a great view of the Bay. Staff were so friendly. I wouldn't say the pool was so clean but not bad. Poolside must be the smoking area, smells like cigarettes which is not great since guests especially kids love to swim in the pool. No complaints with the hotel except for 1 distinct thing : the smell of the Bay was not good at all. Not the hotel's fault thou. I just have to put it out there, sorry. The kayaks and paddle boards are for rent by the way.
