The Chateau Inn & Suites, Spring Lake

My Fiancee and I booked a romantic weekend getaway and it turned out to be a nightmare. The air conditioning/heating system was noisy and fans ran all night long. Evidently they replaced the "window units" with cheap ones and we hardly slept the first night.We went to speak to the manager letting her know that we couldn't stay again and asked for the return of our money for the second night and she said she couldn't make the decision, however, the other manager would contact us. We were never contacted and never received our money. We would rather sleep in our car than stay there another night. Run away from this B&B unless you have strong sleeping medication since all of the rooms have the same cheap, noisy heat/air systems.

We read the reviews, and unlike others started to get a little nervous. Well...... about 2 days before we went down I contacted the hotel several times to arrange a special "suprise" for my girl. They were always very pleasant and accomidating. When we arrived, it was more than expected. The people were very friendly and couldn't do enough. Needless to say the service was excellent. The rooms were clean, the foreplace warm and the tub hot. Nearby are many great restaurants and a bowling alley with a great pool hall. The sunrises on the beach were beautiful despite the heavy wind. You get one duraflame log per day for the fireplace, but they were happy to supply us with as many as we wanted. The butter cookies that were out all the time were a plus! All in all, an excellent stay that I would recommend to anyone. We will be back again with the kids next time.

Loved the room, the bathroom, the balcony and the sitting room. The suites have DVD players and flatscreen TV's so you can play your favorite CD's or DVD's, dim the lights and relax on the king sized bed after a beautiful day at the beach, a bath in the over sized tub and a glass of wine with the one you truly love.

We never expected the upscale interior, the heavenly beds, but most of all the high tech facilities. We ended up coming back for the little things, like the lemonade and cookies, and the ever attentive staff. Don`t expect to get a room or suite in the high season, but make sure you plan a getaway in the quiet seasons.
