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.

Besides the marching and stomping from the people above us and the consistent clicking from the HVAC unit in our room, the stay was decent.

Ocean view from room was great! Furniture on deck was very nice. The pictures on website made the room look a lot more updated than it was. The room had a funky smell and the AC/heat unit was smelly and loud. The shower had good water pressure.
