Here is the dirt:

Our room had three double beds and the suite was huge, clean, with three giant closets (not enough hangers)--one drawback to having a suite--it was devoid of a couch or lounge chair and requires a full length mirror--we removed a mirror from the kitchen to be of use. We chose not to engage room service, and a note pad to request an extra towel would be handy. We had one of those terrible coffee makers in the room (I would advise everyone not to drink the terrible coffee that is created by those contraptions)! Every hotel that offers that awful coffee service should just get rid of those little cheap machines and coffee pods that look like tea bags and offer a 4$ coupon for the local coffee shop or have a decent coffeemaker in the lobby--such a waste of plastic, supplies, and time. Construction was in process and was a bit of a drag as in pictures the hotel had central courtyard with a lush patio and tables/chairs to relax--instead was a huge pit with orange plastic construction fencing--what a surprise! Location was excellent--we were just a 5 minute walk from the Southernmost area--Sandy's has a food truck (the best Cuban sandwiches and cuban coffee--get it iced)! The island is so small that we could walk from our hotel to the pier straight across the island in about 30 minutes--it's really the best way to enjoy the beauty of the local architecture and flora. Not sure if we saved much money by staying here--it certainly is not "hostel" pricing, but not bad.

The pool is a construction site so it feels like staying at a construction site, as it is it very close to your doors. It will be nice when finished but right now it is comically ugly they should give a discount for the state of the motel right now. The rooms were nice and very clean though.

not bad! perfect for what we were looking far

We got one of the more recently updated rooms, which was perfect for what we needed! Everything was really good for the price, however, the seals on the doors/windows are non-existent. expect to hear everything outside from a sneeze to a car driving by. also they are currently under construction which was not advertised anywhere but the fine print on hotels.com so no pool as advertised :/

Efficient staff. Clean rooms, albeit very small for a 2-person (but it’s a hostel, so you shouldn’t expect spacious). Bike rental onsite. You’ll need to request housekeeping but they do a great job of cleaning the room. At the time of our visit the pool was excavated (presumably to build a new one) but this did not affect us. Overall a good value for what is generally a pricey market for accommodations.
