Exceeded all expectations

The Island exceeded all my expectations. The room was super big, was surprised to see it had a large balcony with chairs to hang out, free water bottles and chips each day. Location was near all the action but about a block away so quieter. And had a nice pool, restaurant, and lounge with billiards. Loved the stay.

Our twin suit was great! Very comfortable beds and spacious layout. The hot tub was chilly and when I spoke to the front desk the manager said it was in fine working order so perhaps we were mistaken. Our vehicle did not fit in the parking but the parking garage around the corner was great and cheaper. Overall great room but pool and hot tub require maintenance.

The room was spacious and newly renovated, the location was convenient, within walking distance to all the shops and the beach, nice pub downstairs. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only downside is that it can be noisy till midnight, but that has to be expected from the location, so I'm still giving it 5 stars.

There was dirty tissues on the bathroom floor and bathroom wasn’t very clean overall, shower cap over smoke detector rendering it useless, awful smelling bedding with a sweat/BO stench making me question if they were changed after the previous guest and the balcony doors don’t lock leaving me feeling very unsafe , overall very unclean and unsafe room.
