Great location and clean.

The price was great. If you’re looking for fancy it is not for you. If you’re looking for clean awesome location that won’t break the bank check it out. We plan to stay there on our next trip back.

The price was right. However, the saying is true that you get what you pay for. Parking was no problem and you can see the beach from the window. After the noise stopped around midnight (sounded like furniture was being moved) but we never looked. We fell asleep. Actually got a good night sleep. A/C worked very well. The main thing is it’s not kept up. Things that get broken just stay that way, I guess. No towel or toilet paper bars, bathroom door knob was very loose and just needed tightened, cabinet under the sink had water damage so was screwed shut, soap holder in shower was broken. Sheets and floors were clean and we were very thankful for that!

Recommend for basic stay.

Everything was fine except this apartment close to a small club, so it a little bit noisy. It’s worthy for a affordable price.

Economic place to stay on the Island

4th of July trip. Had to get the remote from front desk. Staff was fun and friendly. Room was cold...yay. Shower was hot and bed was VERY comfortable.. Thats all I care about. Applian es were not plugged in so put food in it but next day only my ice packed kept it edible. I share fault in that. Will stay again.

Not at all what I expected based on the more recent reviews. Our room and shower were in obvious disrepair and towels were stained. Served its purpose but was a little disappointed.

The place did not look like the picture. It was nasty and stunk and was not in a good part of town. They did not confirm my reservation or have me sign anything. I chose a property that I would pay at the property and they took the money out that morning before I got there that afternoon. I’ve been trying to get my money back bc we did not even stay there. It was 175$ per room for 2 rooms and it was not worth 50$ a night. So we ended going to another hotel to stay.

I really dont like the $100 "security deposit" that takes 5-7 business days to be returned. Other than that, location is great, room amelt like chlorine but i guess that's better than smelling dirty.
