They cleaned the room. Didn’t make the bed. Difficult to manage room temperature. Remodeled but left the old dirty bathroom. Wasn’t worth the money. The breakfast was adequate.

This hotel was within a short walk to the beach, however the back property had trash you had to step over on the edge of the property. Would just take a little cleanup to capture things blowing out of garbage bins. Overall the hotel was nice but our shower floor was not clean, needs a little scrubbing. The breakfast was great and had something for everyone. Convenient location to go either way on the island!

The staff was excellent. The hotel was clean. The only reason we didn’t give 5 stars was due to pool bugs and the sink being separate from the bathroom. Easily could be 5 stars. Overall enjoyed our stay and would come back.
