Reviews and Ratings
The condo is a great choice for a longer stay, but it feels a bit dark and outdated, like a cave. The original kitchen and bath are the highlights, though. The location is excellent, close to restaurants and the beach, but having a car is necessary. The service was lacking, with multiple issues returning keys and needing assistance. The dining experience was average but offers a good soup selection. Overall, the facilities are satisfactory, but there is room for improvement.
The hotel offers a cozy stay with all the comforts of home while on the road. The rooms were clean and included a full kitchen perfect for making breakfast before the day's activities. The location is fine, near amenities and ideal for vacationing in Wells, with a 2-bedroom condo available. The dining options are good with aged USDA prime steaks, but service may require improvement as there were some challenges. It's a great spot for summer activities and a quiet winter getaway.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, close to the beach and several restaurants. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was so welcoming. The dining experience could be improved with more breakfast options, but the pool area was well-maintained and enjoyable. The price was reasonable, although Wi-Fi had an extra cost.
The hotel has a great location, near the trolley stop and spacious units. The rooms, though spacious, felt outdated, like a cave with no view, and had some cleanliness issues like a dirty couch and ripped carpet. The location was wonderful for summer activities, despite feeling dark at night. The dining options were best suited for steaks. The facilities had some drawbacks, with nothing updated in the original kitchen and bath.
The hotel offers a comfortable stay in a convenient location near restaurants and the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean, perfect for families, although the distance from certain attractions may be a drawback. The dining experience could be improved, but overall, it's a value-for-money choice with friendly service.
