My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean, were in need of some updating and repair. The service was friendly and accommodating, but lacked attention in some areas. The location was great for accessing amenities and activities in the area, but the dining options left something to be desired.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was across the street from the main hotel, more like a motor lodge with a view of the parking lot. While there were plenty of choices, they were dated and needed upgrading and repair.

The service was extremely nice and friendly. They even put me in a nice waterview room without me asking. However, they seemed inattentive at times unless I was at the bar.

The hotel is in a very good area close to many food shopping and gas areas. I enjoyed the private beach access and multiple pools onsite.

The dining experience was a big disappointment. The breakfast options were poor with limited range of cereals lacking fiber, but there were plenty of pastries. I ended up going out for breakfast daily.

I had a pleasant stay at the waterfront hotel. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. The location was convenient, close to amenities, but the dining options were a bit limited. Overall, a good value for the money.

Our room with a balcony was located over the game room in the waterfront building, next to the exterior door. It was CLEAN and provided a comfortable night for my family.

The hotel's location was very close to a supermarket and petrol station, which was a bonus for us. It was also convenient to explore the Margate area and close to all the main attractions.

Dining

The dining experience included a supposed free breakfast that was plentiful, but it could have been better explained between complimentary continental and paid breakfast options. Still, it was a nice addition.

I stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, but unfortunately, I had a sleepless night due to noise from a party on the floor above. The service was excellent and attentive, especially in the restaurant. The location was perfect for exploring the lakes and nearby ski areas, although some areas of the hotel needed maintenance. The dining options were disappointing and overpriced, lacking in healthy choices. Despite some drawbacks, the facilities were good overall with an outdoor restaurant/bar offering reasonably priced lunch options.
