My recent stay at Quarterdeck Resort was quite the mixed bag. The location was stunning, right on Gull Lake with a beautiful view from the cabin. The amenities, like the on-site restaurant and recreational activities, were enjoyable. However, the service experience was disappointing, particularly due to staff attitudes and room allocation issues. I ended up feeling quite frustrated by the lack of communication and cleanliness in some areas.

My experience was frustrating from the start at this resort. The service attitude was lacking, and I encountered numerous issues with my room, including a lack of privacy and discomfort. The surrounding area was poorly maintained, affecting my overall impression. I won't be returning here anytime soon.

The room opened directly to the outdoor bar, making it impossible to have any quiet time. Additionally, there were no phones in the room, which felt unsafe.
