Hotel served the purpose, a cool clean place to sleep close to the island attractions. Parking is very limited first come first serve. Water is very hard. Bedding and towels are due for an upgrade. Shower head needs to be updated along with the yellowish shower curtain.

Nothing but a glorified Motel 8. Rooms are filthy and disgusting. Floors were sticky all over and socks were black from just walking on them. Bath towels were also stained and paper thin. Not worth the high price tag we paid for a room at all.

The hotels in this area are completely overpriced. The rooms were dirty, the shower water was cold, the towels were very dirty, there were no blankets, and the bed linens had a bad smell and were grimy. In addition, the person in charge of cleaning the rooms treated us poorly, practically throwing us out.

Great place to stay! We loved how clean and comfortable the room was especially the beds! The only down fall was the parking which is alittle small. Other than that I would definitely go back to stay here!
