Had a last minute friend’s birthday on the island and thought I was going to wind up paying an arm and a leg. Found Murray and thought it might be dodgy at the price, but really like the location, the room, the pool and hot tub area, and the staff were all lovely. I’ll definitely stay again the next time I’m up.

There was no coffee maker or ironing board in the room. The coffee in the lobby was terrible. There was no fresh water to fill bottles in the lobby. The tv was too low on a low dresser, hard to see from the bed. The bathroom was amazing, clean, and spacious.

Vintage hotel provides nostalgic stay. Easy access to shopping and dining. Short walk to the ferry terminal. A bit noisy though. Overall very happy with the accommodations.

Stinky

This was our second time staying in the property. It is one of the more affordable and easy to access properties in the island, but the condition has declined too much. Our room smelled like mold and urine. The bed and the toilet were both slanted considerably to the right. Considering the price us still fairly high, I would rather spend another $100 a night to stay somewhere else.

Relaxing, clean and conveniently located

Hotel was clean, quiet. Kids loves the hot tub! They listed it as a pool but definitely a hot tub. Only complaint is the hair dryer plug was messed up so it didn't work well but I informed them of this at checkout. Desk staff were very polite and helpful.

As advertised. If you want up to date this isn’t it but if you want reasonably priced for the island and right on the strip then it’s perfect. No regrets.

Room was small but beautiful. Hard to find room for two suitcases. Main problem that it faced east and only had shutters on the window so early morning sun woke us before dawn. Would have liked curtains to put over blinds.
