Cheap because the rooms are disgusting
Pros:

The front desk lady was very accommodating even when we needed to switch rooms. The second bedroom seemed a lot cleaner and safer than the original provided. Front desk lady was great but that’s about it.

Cons:

The area was very sketchy at night the doors either didn’t have the top lock or weren’t sturdy. There’s no WiFi, no fridge, no microwave. The first room provided, the bed had an enormous stain and the second room the pillows had mold.

Stay somewhere else
Pros:

The staff were really nice and accommodating.

Cons:

Paid $100 for a small and cramped hotel room, with dead roaches in the bathroom and a dirty shower that looked like it was falling apart. The mattresses felt like cardboard on a wooden slab. We went to a friend's hotel down the street and they paid $20 less for a room with a microwave, fridge, free breakfast, and much more space. The pool was out of service when we went, which sucked because we really wanted to swim. And our door battery died in the middle of the night so we got locked out and had to have the front desk clerk open our room with their key, which was difficult for him too.

Pros:

The room is very small but tidy. The shower had cracked floors which gave me the heebie-jeebies but I don't think it really matters. The AC was super cold and the Wi-Fi was fast enough. I slept well in the bed.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Pros:

There was :
- Dead moths & Cockroaches on the floor
- stains on the walls and in the toilet
- the bathtub was peeling paint & when I stepped unto it, it caved in
- the shower curtain pole fell off twice
- the sheets had stains
- the mini fridge wasn’t cleaned
AND TO TOP IT OFF THERE WAS A POWER OUTAGE ON THE ISLAND & WHEN I POLITELY ASKED WHEN AND IF THE LIFHTS WERE TO COME BACK ON THE ATTENDED SAID “IDK YOULL KNOW WHEN I KNOW”.
MIND YOU IM NOT FROM HERE.
IM A GUEST.
I REQUESTED A REFUND BUT I WAS MET WITH ATTITUDE AND A POLITICAL COMMENT;
“YOU CITY LIBERAL PEOPLE”.
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE THIS MOTEL SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN.
