Coastal Suites Resort

Coastal Suites Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed in the two bedroom suite. It was adorable! Very clean and quiet. Great central location. Close to beaches and many other attractions. Great Rainbow trout fishing on Crystal lake right now too!! Only issue we had, and it was nothing the property did wrong, was the tiny bathroom. Bedrooms were on small side as well, but more than adequate for sleeping. Very comfortable bed and pillows. We're 6'5 and 5'8 and the bathroom (especially tub/shower) were definitely not made for taller/bigger people. However, it was absolutely cute and clean. I understand that's not something that can't be changed and despite that, we loved our stay 🙂"

"The heat/cool system was right on point. Two front desk gals were very nice. Met another employee & we chatted a bit twice - again, very nice. There were a couple things re: cleanliness: microwave timer still at 2 sec left suggests the keypad wasn't cleaned - or was but not reset; TV remote's keys could use a good toothbrushing w/ a wipe; area below microwave was spattered. Nothing I couldn't live with. Decent stay overall."

"This property was well maintained. Rooms were clean and well stocked with the usual amenities. The pool was a decent size and they had two outdoor areas to enjoy. We were put in the handicapped rooms, the bathroom doors were so heavy, at night they made loud sounds when closing. Other than that, this was a very good hotel in Beulah."
