The office was very helpful when I did ask for something and the location is excellent.
Pros:

The office workers were excellent.

Cons:

The room could have been cleaners. Dust on the bed rails, left over soap and hair in shower so we fed not use the shower, and toilet paper was not replenished so we ran out. I will say if I had called for more tp I believe we would have gotten more but we just used the tissues in the bathroom. We only stayed one night so we were ok.

Disappointing and not what we had before in a cabin.
Pros:

Locating is great. We have stayed there 2 other times.

Cons:

Our room was not very clean. It was very small. We have stayed in a cabin before and that unit was so much better. The bed was awful to sleep on. We actually surrender the second night and left because it was so bad.

Pros:

The location was close to the ferry

Cons:

The facilities were obviously not cleaned in months. There was hardly any lighting. Everything seemed dingy and haphazardly thrown in there. The place smelled. They didn't even have regular pillows, they were tiny

Cons:

We walked into a dirty unclean room. Dirty beds, dirty towels, trash everywhere. Then when put it in a new room there was a hole in the floor. The wall paper in the shower was stapled on the wall. No hot water.

The room was very comfortable and clean, but some of the amenities need an upgrade.
Pros:

The room and bed was very comfortable. The location was very convenient.

Cons:

The outside area by our room needs some work done to clean it up a bit. There was also a big piece of equipment right by the entrance to our room. Also one of the lights by the bed did not work, but we found that it was not plugged in.
Most places provide a hair dryer but this place did not.

It was nice and we had fun inspite of the minor inconveniences of the cabin.
Pros:

It was centrally located and easy to walk everywhere.

Cons:

Some of the windows couldn’t be opened, the shade on the door was not operational and the air conditioning didn’t cool the whole cabin.. just the living room.
