"The property was very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are small but worked well for what we needed. The front office hours are very limited but they do say they will accommodate late check-ins as long as you make arrangements in advance."

"The continental breakfast is quite good. We partake every time we visit. Very fresh. There should be a larger selection of breads, though. There was only white. TY !"

The Meadowmere Resort

The Meadowmere Resort

8/10 Good
"Our room was spotless! The hot tub was awesome! The only negative for our stay was the fact that Expedia did a poor job of describing the room we chose. We were three travelers and needed more than one king bed. When I chose that option that was offered for three, I assumed there was a pull out couch or another sleeping option but there wasn’t! The hotel was able to supply us with a blowup but would have been nice to know ahead and choose another option. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay."
