Amenities were non-existent. One little bar of soap. No shampoo or conditioner. 3 towels and wash cloths were provided, but I didn't know if I should dry off with them or go sand off the rust on my car. There is a full size refrigerator & stove (why?) plus microwave & sink. However NO utensils, plates, cups, pans, nothing in the cabinets. Cleanliness was sub par, as is the bedding. You get what you pay for at this place. Owner said in another review that he was remodeling one room at a time, so maybe there's hope for them in the future. Check back in 2021.

The hotel was as clean as it could be. The rooms that have not yet been renovated are just very old.

Hot shower, great bed. We were in one of the older rooms, but it was clean. He showed us some of the newly renovated rooms. Beautiful! Great area! Little shops and restaurants to walk to and lots of great kayaking ! We are planning to return!
