Welcoming, knowledgeable front desk staff (thanks, Chris!). Modern, clean room with quiet fridge; plenty of space. Beautiful outdoor pool was temporarily closed, but the grounds invite exploration. Wonderful place to spend a few days. Stone fireplace in historic lodge and in some rooms. We love staying in this State park.

Centrally located in PG. It was awesome falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean. Roomy room that needs an update. Grounds are nested in beautiful cypresses. Lots of wildlife around the grounds.

Trying to find where to check in was a disaster. Once I found where to check in, where do I park? I sent my daughter in & they told her where I could park. What makes it more confusing is as you turn to park, there's a sign that says Do Not Enter. Also, if you pass the turn, you have to go ALL THE WAY AROUND - There were other cars behind me so I had no option but to go back to the street & start again. Inside, it was crowded & folks looked like they were happy. Outside many were walking their dogs The check in was OK. Polite enough but not what I would call friendly. The stairs to our room looked dangerous. Not solid & holes in the wood. Once in our room there is NO PHONE, no T.V., & no coffee maker. Just a smelly OLD room.The shower may have been clean, but I would not take a shower there. I called & left a voice message to please call me ASAP as I wasn't going to bring my luggage in until I spoke w/ someone. After few minutes I tried again & they answered, put me on hold. Over 13 minutes later I hung up. I went to my car to find other lodging arrangements & since I didn't receive a call back, I left the keys in the room & left. I wasn't about to go through that parking fiasco again. It was while on hold that I realized from the message I was listening to, there is no amenities. This was a place to unplug. OMG I looked at the site where I booked the place and there is no mention of this. I would not pay $200 for an old useless room. To this day, they never called me back.

Parking was easy and safe. Older building so noise travels and there was no fan or AC so room was hot and stuffy. No coffeemaker but there was a common room microwave.

Room quality was lacking. The property overall was very picturesque. However, our only issue was with the room - very dated - no TV, no phone, faucets in the bathroom old and rusty. Shower doors were moldy. Very poor lighting. Room had a musty, old smell to it. Felt like we were “glamping”. Maybe this was what they intended but not what we expected.
