"The condo provided was fantastic! It was clean and in great condition, almost everything worked very well (one of the TV remotes didn't work, but it was a non-issue since we didn't care to watch TV there), and the view of the beach was amazing! It's in a very pedestrian friendly area, too. The staff were also very polite and professional. We were able to receive and return our key without any issues. I can definitely picture coming back here again next year!"

Top Shelby Lake Hotel Reviews

Beachside Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was a great place to stay for 1 night. We got the room with the 3 double beds. It was clean and the beds were comfy. We were disappointed that breakfast wasn’t offered. The hotel.com app told us it was. Our room phone was destroyed and wouldn’t work. So when we needed the front desk we had to go down there."

"Room was nice and it’s ok for a night or two. The only thing I would complain about was the breakfast it wasn’t that good and only a few things to choose from."
