I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located close to everything, including the beach. The rooms were clean and modern, providing a comfortable atmosphere. However, the dining options left something to be desired, especially at breakfast. The pool was an enjoyable spot to unwind, but I found the Wi-Fi to be an extra financial burden as it wasn't included in the stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall, with clean and spacious rooms that offered a comfortable retreat. The location near the beach was a major plus, making it convenient for fun-filled days by the water. While the dining options were decent, I found the breakfast selection to be a bit lacking. The amenities like the pool were well-maintained, but the Wi-Fi connection could be improved, as paying extra for it felt a bit tedious.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and a fantastic pool area. The staff was incredibly nice, making the experience even better. The location is amazing, right by the lake and close to the dunes. However, the dining options were a bit limited, especially at breakfast, and the Wi-Fi was an extra charge which felt a bit off for the price I paid.

I had a pretty good stay at the hotel with some highlights and a couple of downsides. The rooms were clean and offered a good amount of comfort. The location near the beach was fantastic, though parking was tricky at times. On the flip side, the dining options, especially breakfast, could definitely use some improvement. Overall, it's a decent choice, but be prepared for some limitations in dining.
