Top Twin Lakes State Beach Hotel Reviews

The Aqua Pacific Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room and property were fine. It’s not a place for light sleepers because of the noise coming from other rooms when they run water."

Marea Sol Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great Location"

Carousel Beach Inn

8/10 Good

"Clean and cute property very close to the beach. Free parking is nice but spaces are tiny. Breakfast was good but bananas both days were overripe and nearly spoiled and staff knew this, they should have bought proper fruit to replace it instead of putting it out. This had nothing to do with the property but a domestic dispute involving police and emt made sleeping hard one night."
