my friend and I really like the pony Island hotel, it is a nice island hotel. It has charm and people are friendly. For us this time the room we’d give a three on room clean - not sure what happened there, my house stayed there before the rooms were clean and there were no issues. everything was good. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and I will go back.

This is a motel with exterior doors. Our room appeared to have been recently refurbished. It was clean and comfortable. There is no elevator so we had to carry our bags up the stairs to the second floor. There are no amenities except free parking.

The staff is great. Parking is good. Everything is nearby shops restaurants everything the room was clean with fluffy towels, and enough of them. The soap was sparse, but there was body wash and shampoo in the shower. The Kleenex box was one Kleenex away from being empty, but no one could tell that. All in all great stay. Staff was the highlight. Friendly, helpful, and efficient.
