Pros:

The room is fine. I did not like having to park my vehicle, offsite and walking even further to another hotel and go to their office to check into my hotel.

Pros:

The motel is what you would expect. Everything was pretty basic. Rooms are cleaner than I expected based on the outside of the building. The location was perfect. Everything was within walking distance.

Pros:

The pictures don’t do the room justice. I looks way better in person than in pictures. I can say I didn’t see a swim up bar attached or near the hotel so that was kinda bummer but fine bc it wasn’t necessarily swim weather. The bed was very comfortable. The manager stated that the hotel received new beds, which felt good. It was clean and I overall had a good stay. I would most likely stay there again. The location is right by everything but in a perfect space that you aren’t up all night hearing people party.

Pros:

Location was a little older and hadn’t been remodeled in a long time. Bathrooms were insulated as well with little ventilation. Great location near everywhere you could want to go on the island. Would stay again!

Disappointed
Pros:

Bed was like they threw a fitted sheet over a box spring. Shower barely had enough pressure to wash yourself off. Floors would turn your feet black. And 2/3rds of the outlets for whatever reason would only work on one plug so you’d have to choose lighting or charging your devices. I get that you don’t spend much time in there, and the location is great, but for almost $300 a night it’s kinda ridiculous. Also the pictures show a pool which they don’t have. We were in room 14 FYI.

No pool, No sleep, No coffee, but they’ve got kids
Pros:

THE WORST!
The bed was a joke. I had springs in my back all night and my husband couldn’t move without springs popping. The board under the mattress did nothing except make us wonder what we were paying for.
The floor was so dirty we had to wash our feet before we put in our shoes. The shower floor and bath mat turned black from the dirt.
There was a coffee pot, but no coffee.
No front desk help to ask about cart rental. They closed and locked the office door the second we checked in and never opened it again. That of course was after we waited 10 mins for them to show up and check us in.
THERE IS NO POOL! The picture of the pool is a joke. They do not have one.
They claim to be adult only, but there are kids there. One little girl sat on the deck getting her hair braided while a little boy jumped on the bed behind her.
Worst stay ever!

Pros:

Location of the property is good.
Pool is few blocks away, not good.
Parking facility is bad. All of the parking area is blocked by the golf carts, which is other business of them.
Luckily staff help me to get one parking spot available. Better to call them and ensure parking availablity before arrival.
