Vernon Vacations from $363

No sign on the building should have prepped us… The front desk was unmanned. There was a sign stating to call a room # for assistance. We did so and after a few minutes a rep arrived, sat down and asked “reservation?” No greeting. I provided our name, she said “ID.” I gave her ID. Next was “CC or cash for deposit”. No explanation of amount, simply “CC or cash.” She printed a paper, wrote an X and pushed it at me. I asked “Do you need a signature?” A clipped “yes”. My career has been in customer service and I was astounded at this “first customer impression.” So much so that I asked her name: Hannah. Hannah is better suited for a non-customer facing job. On a bright note, the room was clean. The toilet did not function well and the shower was slow to drain, but that’s not a maid issue (other than reporting to maintenance). Complimentary in-room coffee was nasty, but the machine appeared to be clean (always do a self clean too; don’t ask why, take my word and just do it). There was only one small soap. If you decide to book, bring along a shower soap. The “complimentary lobby coffee” was a machine which appeared unused in months. Checkout was worse than Hannah. The man was extremely inconvenienced at our ringing him to the desk at 10:00AM. He irritated me so I requested a receipt to simply inconvenience him. Yeah, whatever. You (almost) get what you pay for; it was clean. Don’t know the name of the place as the sign was covered. There was an Under New Management sign.

5 stars, and if we could go higher, we would! This was one of the best family stays we have had so far. The beach was so close, and the town had so many great things to see and experience. The location was perfect and central enough that we could visit other beaches during the day and still be back home the same evening. The hosts were incredibly kind, and the managing agency stayed connected the whole time, so we never had to wonder about anything. The neighbourhood was quiet, the home was beautiful, and every little detail was appreciated, even the sandcastle building toys! We are so grateful for such a beautiful trip. Well done. We will be back!

The hotel is peaceful and quiet plus you don’t hear anything from other rooms. The staff are very pleasant and so helpful. The amenities are a plus Kuerig coffee and cups and creamer plus wine glasses and opener. Mini fridge. An atrium with colorful bistro sets and games and coffee. Location is perfect. Walking distance to all you want or need. Free cafe breakfast from 7-9 good food. Other nice little things. We loved our stay.

It was a beautiful stay. Everything was wonderful!
