Disliked: Cleanliness
Pretty average “motel like” property. Lots of renovations happening, fresh paint smell in most areas. Sloppy paint job left behind paint on floors and sideboards. Bathroom needed a better cleaning. Long hairs in the shower, on the walls and on the doorframe. Microwave is old and rusted. The space overall was nice and the walkout balcony was very nice to have. Felt a bit overpriced for the condition. Front desk attendant was pleasant.

Older hotel, great location

This little hotel is in a great location on a beautiful beach, with amazing views from the oceanfront rooms. It’s an older property that is definitely showing wear and tear though, but you can see the improvements they are trying to make throughout the building. The room itself felt damp, and did have a musty smell, and the beds were lumpy and not comfortable. Hopefully new mattresses are part of the upgrades in the future! The hotel staff was friendly and the breakfast area was nice and clean and had a good amount for a continental breakfast. Both pool areas were small, but nice! I would stay here again in the future, for a night or two, but there are also many affordable condos on the island that could be a better option for a longer stay.

Close to the ocean, noisey hvac unit (compressor vibrates), shower pressure changes with every toilet flush. Would probably stay again.
