Monarch Resort
The rooms are very outdated. There were no comforters on the bed and had to ask the front desk for blankets. The TV was so small and there was nothing but old TV shows available. Would be nice to have other services available. The guest room doors slam hard and often! It was very loud and annoying! ...

Sunset Inn
The place was fine. The continental breakfast started at 8:00 that was a bit late, but there was coffee in the room. The room was nice and parking easy. The walk to see the sunset was short although the sun didn't really cooperate.

Deer Haven Inn
They require you to leave your key or face a fine. I had to leave my key in the hotel room because no one was in the office at 7:00 a.m. when I left. If you're not in the office that's fine but there should be a place for a key drop off and I did not see one.
