Hotel Lydia

The rooms were kind of hot at night even with the air on 69. Also the building we were staying in did not have a front desk, front desk and any person you needed to talk to for anything was clear across the parking lot in another building. Other than that the hotel is nice and reasonable and in a perfect location!

Awesome!

I was pleasantly surprised with our stay at Hotel Lydia. While the hotel had the island character on the exterior, the hotel room was modern, clean, and spacious. There was great air conditioning and a ceiling fan in the room which made the room nice and cold for the night. Would highly recommend this Hotel to others staying in Port A!
