Review by hotel critic
I recently took my family on a short getaway to the Shores, and we found it to be a pleasant choice for our needs. Upon arrival, we were graced with Dave's warm welcome, who quickly informed us about local attractions and provided useful parking details. Our room featured a 50-inch TV, and the inclusion of a DVD library kept my daughter entertained during our downtime. The modern decor and comfy bedding made for a restful stay. The onsite bar had an inviting atmosphere, perfect for relaxing while my daughter played with the Xbox 360 and PS3 available in the common area. It was also great to find family-friendly snacks waiting in our room. The Shores offers a decent balance of comfort and convenience, making it a solid option for families seeking a home base near attractions. We would consider returning.
