"They are certainly making quite a few improvements to their rooms. Huge TV, the shower is really nice. We did end up staying there before they had installed anywhere to hang our wet coats, but oh well, we made do. Our biggest disappointment was that we didn't get to use the pool because they were waiting on an inspection. But that's beyond their control. Look forward to May 2026. That's when they figure that all the upgrades will be done. This is the second time we have stayed at Painter's lodge, and there is a reason. The rooms are simple (what we have gotten anyway), and the location is lovely with spectacular views. The staff is great and very gracious. The pub food is really good. The main building has nice seating areas to sit by the fire, or to play games. It's very welcoming."

"Internet was good rooms were nice and clean "

"Pros: Friendly staff, s'mores nightly firepit, beautiful location, amazing boardwalk. Cons: We were in the oldest part of the resort, the shower was one of those very large old soaker tubs with a shower above (make shift style). The TV in the bedroom didn't work, the mini fridge didn't work, and they forgot to clean our room (we were there for three nights). "
