When booking a stay, I think it is best to know exactly what you are getting. I believe that this hotel may receive low ratings because the reviewers had much different expectations of their rooms based on the grounds of the hotel. The grounds are exceptional! The Lakefront property where I stayed had fabulous lake views. There is a sauna,... More

Well, we went here for a little "honeymoon" June of last year and honestly, I was a little disappointed. I KNOW I shouldn't have booked a room for Motorcycle Week, so that wasn't their fault that it was full of Motorcycle People, but the pool was cold, and the gym...the gym was sub-par. They need to improve upon these areas.... More

Thank you for your review. You are correct in stating that a typical vacationer will have a totally different perception about our property, and most other properties in the area when visiting during Bike Week in June. Bike Week is an annual city-wide event that has taken place for an entire week mid-June for the past 90 years. During this... More

My friend and I stayed here and the place was a dump! The top blanket to both of our beds had stains on them (which looked like blood) and the sheets were filthy, disgusting!!!

Thank you for posting a review. With so many other people writing positive reviews regarding the cleanliness of our rooms, we were a little shocked at this. We are mostly frustrated that the guest didn’t give us an opportunity to show them another room that would have been more acceptable to them. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate our guests if they... More

Very quite room, excellant staff, Pool, HotTube and pool were A+. Breakfast could have been better for the price. Internet was not avaiable in the lodge across from the main building. The big plus was I left the charger to my tablet in the room and they shipped it to me within 4 days! More

We spent 2 nights over New Year's weekend and had a great time! Our room was clean, but in need of updating, however, our room had a great view of the lake; the staff was extremely efficient, and helpful (they even moved us to a quieter area of the dining room due to a large, loud party). Our meal was... More

My husband and I traveled to The Margate from Ct for our 5th wedding anniversary (Dec. 31st). The room was a little tired , in need of an update, but very clean. Over priced for off-season. The New Years party was fun but not very well thought out, guests finishing dinner were unsure where to go. Back to the room... More

We traveled to Margate in November for a wedding. The wedding itself was wonderful and the caterer was just perfect. However, the staff at Margate were rude and unfriendly. The hotel is showing signs of much needed upkeep with outdated rooms, phones, tv's and even mold in the bathroom shower. The wedding coordinator was nice but not overly available to... More
