My daughter was married at the property and the staff was wonderful! They went out of their way to see that her wedding was perfect. We stayed at the resort, the rooms are very spacious and clean. Checking in was a breeze and they were very helpful with where to have breakfast and what was available in the area. I would recommend this resort to anyone wanting to get away fir a night or a week!

Was somewhat reluctant to book there based on some of the reviews, but we had a wonderful stay at Waterfront Inn this past Labor Day weekend. First time but won't be our last. Friendly staff, clean, plenty of parking. Nice big room with no carpet, which is always a plus for me. All around great hotel for the price point. Just goes to show you not to listen to reviews and go and see for yourself. We couldn't have had a better hotel stay.
