It was like a block or two away from the beach. The bed was very comfortable. It was nice and clean. There really isn’t enough stuff there but my weekend was nice and comfortable and clean. It needs a little upgrading cause it’s an old place but still.

Decent room, like a cheap motel. There's no sign out front so i drive by it the first time. Best thing about it was the location. I only stayed one night but it was walking distance (10min) to St Armands circle for shops and eateries. I drove to my kayak tour launch but you could walk there too.

The owner not only provided me with a reservation within an hour but is the nicest person I’ve met in Florida. This is such a great place to stay when you just need a little quiet space to be. I can’t thank you enough.

Wonderful place

What a wonderful little hotel right in heart of Saint Armands Circle. Added bonus is the wonderful housekeeping staff. Definitely would recommend Lido Islander Inn.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
An old shabby 60s small apartment complex surrounded by multi million dollar homes. Not particularly clean, ragged around the edges. Some sketchy guests. One (drunk?) guy had loud speaker phone calls with his girlfriend right outside our door while waiting for the laundry. Not even sure if he was a guest there. Upside was apartment had 2 bedrooms and a kitchen (tho it lacked such starter basics as paper towels or dishwashing liquid). And 1.5 blocks from beach or 4 blks from St Armands is hard to beat. You get what u pay for…
