Great space for a family of 4. Lobby area is very cozy and the fire pit tables and grills outside were a nice amenity. The property was a little dated, but overall, very clean and nice staff. We especially loved the walkable access to the cafe across the street called Sip. We would stay here again.

Very clean but biggest room was cramped for 5 people especially if you leave the sofa sleeper open. Main bedroom bed was small and broken down so you rolled to the middle and a bit uncomfortable We were told there would be a full size bed in the loft but instead there were 2 twin beds. They were comfortable though. Extra powder room in hallway and Lobby was good! We appreciated the toaster since we picked up bagels from Cultured Bagels for breakfasts

Lovely stay at the Waterbury

Having never stayed at the Waterbury we didn't know what to expect but ended up enjoying our stay there. The hotel overall is kept clean. The 2 bedroom loft plus pullout bed provided decent room for 5 of us, including 3 adult children. The grill and gas fire pit with seating area out front is very nice. Both pools (indoor/outdoor) and hottub were clean and provided an enjoy spot to spend time in the water. The grounds of the resort are maintained very well too. Only the landscape islands in the parking lot were the exception as there were overgrown and appeared as if they may be waiting for an overhaul at some point in the near future. If not, we'd recommend it as that was the one main area we'd recommend receive an update. The staff was very friendly and accommodating as well and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely consider staying here in the future.

There is a large interior remodeling project going on at this resort right now. Most of the room’s furniture is all lined up in the hallways, including the mattresses, making it difficult to walk to your room. The entire resort smells strong of wet paint. They put us in a room in the basement level that was very cold, and took several hours to warm up. The management did not mention any of this when I booked the room, and even the front desk didn’t say anything at check in. The manor that this was all done was unpleasant and somewhat dangerous.

Don't bother...

Bed and pool were good, after that, down hill...Lied to by manager Edith via email that both bedrooms have tvs, they don't. Playground is missing, couldn't use firepit, exercise room is now a store under construction? Upper floor was 87° when we got there. No elevator to bring luggage up, still use keys for room and outside doors. Effort is there to remodel, its just mismanaged and drown in misrepresentation. I'll stick with Newport Resort in Egg Harbor.

Okay stay - no exercise room -hard bed

The place was cute. Extremely disappointed there was no exercise room. It advertised having an exercise room. The bed was extremely hard. There was a family ping pong area and the lobby offered family games.
