Last Minute Getaway… I have never stayed anywhere as close to the water as the room I had, and I can’t say how impressive this location is!! The waves at night sounded like you were at the ocean and the sand at this beach was spectacular. They could improve the breakfast a touch…eggs and maple syrup. Just a recommendation especially when you are in maple syrup country. The place was immaculate though - and the hotel staff were warm, friendly and very attentive.

I’m surprised that I “checked in” as the property was well aware I was unable to cross the bridge to arrive & the room was booked because we were as mentioned above, unable to cross the bridge. Who checked in at 10:07? Was this room given to someone and checked in under my name? Is there a secret time that I was required to check in by or I forfit my room? Please email me more details about this “check in”. I believe there was fraud taking place. Thanks!
