Place was okay, bed was extremely uncomfortable I got barely any sleep. I was also charged $35 out of my incidentals for some reason without being given an explanation. While it was affordable for the reasons above I think next time we will stay at another place.

It was nice and clean outside too. But our bathroom door didn't lock and didn't close properly. Needed to place towel to secure door closed tightly shut.

I had a long and event filled day at work and was running late to check in. Just as I crossed over to the island the most pleasant lady called to check on me and see if there was anything I needed further. She politely requested my updated eta which was 20 minutes. The motel and cottages are very brightly painted and well cared for. The Room smelled fresh and the AC was ice cold and comfortable. The room was very clean with no issues. Well worth staying at again and perhaps one of their cottages when our family visit again.

I thought the room was roomy and comfortable. Best hotel air conditioner ever by far! Was great that the owner lived on site and the hotel had such a warm family feel. Would have preferred more water pressure and a plug on both sides of the bed.

Great for just a quick stay. Pool was good but the room itself was outdated. Bathroom was bad in that the door knob was very loose and showerhead very old.
