The room was clean but the entire hotel has a musty mildew smell. Also, drunk men in the hallways harassing you anytime you step out of your room. But that can happen anywhere. When you go to the pool there’s no towels, so you have to bring them from your own room which is annoying. But, it is a cool pool area and the location is great for walking to pretty much anywhere. I love that Level 2 is attached, it made going out in the evening really easy.

No in-room refrigerator, no ice machine in the hall, they do not permit coolers in rooms. Other places have more for less.

Really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable beds and a clean room. I just really wish our room would have had a mini fridge, it would have made our stay much more enjoyable.

My husband & I booked a Queen room and received a double. Elevator didn’t work and stairwell smelled of urine. All three front desk staff over our stay were rude. We travel a lot and this may be our worst experience ever .

The Riot House

The Hotel is pretty much a dorm, with it being attached directly to Level 2, the only true “nightclub” in Town. The rooms are much closer to a roadside motel than a city Hotel. But look, come to Put In Bay for the party and not the hotel stay. The hotel is right dab in the middle of the party so we expected lots of noise and shenanigans. There were a few arrests right outside of our first floor window and a few fights after hours when people just couldn’t handle their alcohol. But you’re a short walk to everything on the island. Check in was quick. Rooms were clean enough.
