great locationbreakfast hampersincorrect billingoff milk
The Beach Lodge offered a great location near to the beach. The delivered breakfast hampers was wonderful and provided fresh items each morning.
The hotel billed me incorrectly, and it included another table's dinner bill with ours. I was told perhaps the milk was off, when I said the jug of milk in the fridge was off. The staff changed my room without fuss.
