Check in was easy. The check in desk/gift shop/ice cream shop/game room is something to experience.
The bed was top notch. Having a microwave and refrigerator were appreciated. And the hvac controls have a “fan always on” button which provides the white noise some of us need at night.
The cafe by the beach is excellent. Great food, reasonably priced with friendly staff.
Minor quibbles with the room not having facial tissues or cups for the coffee maker and a dirty mirror.
Location was good for visiting Kiptopeke and other local points of interest.
They say resort with great seafood restaurant. Sandwiches or burgers only. Room was dirty with mold in bathroom. One light. Overall extremely dissatisfied and disappointed. Would not recommend

This is also a KOA RV park campground
This was happening and seemed well run. I wished I was in an RV
Seemed that Hotel was not a main focus.
1/4 roll of toilet paper no tissues dirty sheets on my bed ( I turned them inside out) I’ll stop there
But I focused on the good and visited a dollar store for my needs
I did sleep alright door was secure and area felt safe.
Although I will not rent a room again, if traveling in an RV I would stay on site again.
The hotel rooms were horrible. They were not updated, as advertised. There was a pound of sand in the shower tub when we entered one room. Also, no toilet paper, no cups for the coffee maker in one room. In the other room, there was no shower curtain and wires hanging out of the walls without covers and holes in the walls that needed patching. There was no daily room service, and in fact, at one point we had to get a broom and clean the rooms ourselves. Beds and linens were fine. The property was great, pools looked clean and in good condition. The sunset bar and grill and the beach were very nice. If the hotel ever gets renovated, or has proper staff attention, it could be a lovely property.
Great place to stay with such a friendly staff! The bathroom was mediocre but other than that, very satisfied. Will stay there again. Can’t say enough about how good the staff is!
This is an excellent location for birdwatchers who want to be close to Kiptopeke and the wildlife refuge. Even though it is on a noisy highway, it is surprisingly quiet at night.
The hotel and campground were well staffed and taken care of. They were also very accommodating to all of our needs. It would have been nice to have a shuttle from the hotel to the beach and the food prices were a little high at the restaurant.
