We were visiting family in the area and selected Parkshore because we have stayed here before. The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant on site is very good. This is just a nice place to stay. I'm not sure about in season as we have not been here during that time.

I will NEVER stay at this establishment again. Room wasn’t ready when I arrived. Staff was extremely rude, if you could find any! The room was filth and smelled atrocious! Imagine sleeping in a cats litter box. Only half the lights worked, The pool/hot tub was disgusting- cloudy, smelled, was FULL of sand. It was also very salty, like swimming in the ocean-but way worse. Since I have a skin condition there was no way I could risk it. The “free” coffee bar…decaf was mud. None of the outside doors to enter the building required your card to enter which is a major safety concern in my opinion for the children! Anyone can enter through the side door and right into the pool area which also didn’t require a card to enter. My room card had to be replaced FOUR times in the two nights I had to stay. I would have cancelled and found different accommodations if any were available! I overheard the housekeeping staff reporting they did not have any glass cleaner or disinfectant, so fill the bottles with vinegar. VINEGAR. To clean an entire room after a stranger stayed there the night before. Thankful I brought Lysol and my own blanket and pillows. The beach view is beautiful at sunrise/sunset/ however be prepared for swimmers itch as the beach is filled with ducks waddling all along the beach front. All in all I will never book here again and would never recommend it! I’ll be surprised if I don’t end up with some sort of infection from this place.

This was a short overnight visit with family in the area. The Park Shore hotel was great and the lounge was fun. The food and service was amazing, we will go back.

The water temperature was inconsistent and dangerous. Could not let a child shower as it would go from acceptable to scalding to freezing and back within seconds. No one was ever at the front desk every time we went by. The hallway and elevator had no ac and were uncomfortable to be in.

Staff was great and accommodating with so many kids in the hotel for the soccer tournament weekend. The bonfire pit and beach were so nice to be able to enjoy!

We stayed in the family one bedroom, which is a weird setup upon entry and should have been included in the remodeling. The rustic look is dated, chair backs are in need of repair and the beds where beyond uncomfortable. The bathroom was nice and the kitchenette is acceptable for those that would use it. I booked due to a private room which had a very comfortable bed and great view. Unfortunately the noise from the heater was so loud I went out to the bunk beds, but it was so hard I decided to crank heat up, so I could turn off noise maker. All three of us ended up in one bed, so much for a private room with door left open.:-(
