Our stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. The rooms were quite nice with comfortable beds and lovely views, perfect for our two small dogs. However, there were issues with cleanliness in the linens and frustrating service at breakfast. The location was superb, right by the Atlantic and a beautiful lake, but dining left a little to be desired, especially with our dinner being served cold. Overall, it's a good place but could use some improvements in a few areas.
