Room was clean. The room was ALOT smaller then pictures on site. The bathroom was TINY and the mirror was hung very high my girlfriend could only see her forehead in the mirror. Also need more then one tiny ice cube tray in the freezer.

South Arms Retreats in E. Jordan is a cute place to stay. Across from the water, the 8 unit motel looks like it has been recently updated with more to come. The room we were in was small by most standards but had what we needed for our mid-week stay; queen bed, fridge, microwave, coffee, A/C, gas heater, fan, tiny bathroom with a decent shower and everything else you’ll need. Remote sign-in and electronic lock entry is convenient and the owners seem very responsive (mostly by text).

Our stay was pleasant, but we had one major and one minor issue. The major issue was that the bunk bed bedding smelled like urine, so we were unable to use them and the minor issue was that there was no conditioner or body wash left in the bottles provided in the shower.

Room smelled musty and a tinge of cigarette smoke was in the air.

The room was fine. We knew it was goingi g to be small but was very well set up. Only issue is we had no sound on the TV. We asked the owners about it and they knew nothing about it. And since their is no one on site to assist it was never fixed or looked at.

We were sent the wrong virtual passcode. She answered immediately and corrected it. Thank you. The room was very cozy but the mattress was not very suitable. Really loved the experience minus the lack of sleep mattress.

The location was just outside the main area of town. Nice views, close to beaches. Would be a nice place to go to in the summer. Clean and friendly staff. We had a toilet set break, and was fixed within an hour. Towels were easily accessible. A couple of things need attention. The handle on the bathroom sink was not attached to the faucet - it needed a set screw to hold in place. We were visiting in freezing weather and the walk ways were slippery from the melted snow on the roof. The eves did not catch all of the water.

This property smelled awful. The carpet was very dirty, as in you could not walk barefoot at all. This property is old and the 2nd bedroom light flickers and may or may not come on. The coffee pot is on a dresser next to the bed, with about 6 inches between them, thus the dresser is unusable. The shower was very small. This property sent 1 or more messages daily before our arrival letting us know about all their rules. Before checking out we had to take off all the sheets, but not mix with the towels, take out the trash, and text we were leaving. The only saving grace was the king bed was comfortable. The second “bedroom” had a plywood door and was too far from the wall a/c unit to be cool at night. I asked the property management company a question and never heard back. I would not stay there again.

Could be a little cleaner mop boards were dirty and dusty but not exceptionally bad.In the long run it was a pretty decent place to stay.

We took this trip in this area so we could travel north, south and east. Room was perfect for what we needed. A little difficult to get the room combo. You have to call a phone number to get the code. Other than that, pretty easy. Cute little creek the runs through the property.
