Renovated hotel but service in all areas is lacking. Took over an hour to get a bowl of soup in the restaurant. Coffee bar does not take room charge or cash or American Express. Please beware check out per person takes over 10 minutes. Room smells like Clorox and we had no hot water in the shower. During the day, the area is very safe, but after the cruise ships leave and the store is closed. Please be careful.

I was supposed to have a city view but i got a view of the roof instead. I was on the second floor. I honestly wouldn't have minded the roof view if there were at least some flowers or trees instead of just a dirty slab. The hotel itself was excellent. I just really love a good view.

The hotel was very beautifully renovated but the rooms were small and had absolutely no view. The beach and pool area was very nice however service was slow while trying to order anything at the pool or beach. The staff working at the front desk were lovely and hospitable.

So glad I picked this!

Absolutely loved my stay! This charming hotel is super central and felt totally safe as a solo woman traveler. The beach is stunning—with plenty of chairs, helpful staff, and no need to trek through a giant resort. My “garden view” room even had ocean views, and I loved watching the cruise ships go by. The Caribbean chicken wrap? So good. Bonus points for live music at the hotel bar, and having McDonald’s across the street and Junkanoo Beach just a short walk away (though the hotel’s beach is way better). You even get access to Margaritaville as a partner property! Perfect spot for a relaxing, no-fuss getaway.
