It was not a fancy or overly large room but it had everything we needed. It was clean. The staff was friendly and professional. They provide breakfast. It is family friendly with a nice pool with a slide and hot tub. I would definitely stay again.

5 Stars – Exceeded Expectations! I was genuinely surprised by how great my experience was at South Shore. The service was excellent, and the room was spotless, much cleaner than I expected. It’s clear they take pride in maintaining a welcoming environment. I would definitely stay here again without hesitation!

Our room was not accessible from the lobby. We parked around the side of the building and went into the side entrance where there were 4 rooms one of which was ours. Strange setup. And our room had a jacuzzi!

This is a much older property, and the rooms were not in the best shape. The beds were pretty uncomfortable. The staff barely says two words to you, doesn't even say you're welcome when you say thank you. I will say that when I needed towels they brought them to me immediately.

Nice small hotel to stay at . The rooms are perfect for a small family. Not a fan of walking up stairs to the second floor that is all outside during winter time . Staff is friendly.
