The rooms were dirty and the flooring was buckled and a trip hazard. The room door would not close without slamming it and was difficult to push open. No coffee cups in the room and for 1 adult and 3 children we had 2 bath towels, 1 wash cloth, and 1 hand towel. The toilet was so low to the floor like the kind you find in an elementary school. No fan in the bathroom. When I complained I was told, "what do you want me to do about it". I will never stay at that location again. The breakfast consisted of mini muffins, fruit loops or corn flakes, Bread that was in a bread loaf that many hands could have already touch. Milk and OJ was in a gallon jug that many hands had touched. We did not get our moneys worth out of the stay. We had to go to breakfast every morning which cost over $30 each meal.

At its price point, Island Hotel was a good stay. We stayed here 1 night prior to our cruise. The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was a bit dated with corroded faucets and shower head, but that was fine for the one night that we stayed. A couple of the lights didn't work but wasn't a deal breaker. If you need an affordable stay for a night or two, Island Hotel will be just fine.

This hotel is very old and everything seems original and in need or being renovated. That said, the room was clean enough. The bed comfortable and was well located to where we needed to be. I didnt want to spend a lot of money for a one night stay to attend a party, so understand you get what you pay for.

Nice 24hour front desk staff, updating would help

Helpful front desk staff on duty 24 hours. Arrived after midnight from late night flight for cruise. Had called and talked to desk to inform them of late arrival, no worries. A/C was cold & bed was comfortable. Pool looked nice though did not use. Property can use updating though only stayed short time. Breakfast selection was limited with cold cereals, bananas, white bread to toast and some mini muffins. Paper menus that were taped to tables and now half way torn off showed menu of cooked/hot breakfast offerings from better days. OK for the quick overnight stay that we used Hotel for from our late flight, some rest then on to the Cruise Port.

Property was rundown. The sign at the entrance was broken. The door to our room was difficult to open and shut and the bathtub water wasn’t working properly. The Health Dept had the restaurant closed. There was a pool, but I’m not sure about its condition. The property does need some work, but they did seem to be addressing some of the issues. It was ok for a one night stay though!

This hotel is not family friendly. The rooms were disgusting. The bathrooms were even nastier. The shower head in the bathroom was busted. They advertise a free hot breakfast, that apparently is not a thing. Don't waste your time or your money going to this place.

I wanted so badly to love this place. I wanted to believe the positive reviews. I thought the complaints and lack of pictures indicated people who were just seeing an aged property and assuming it was less that acceptable. I was so mistaken. It looks like a horror movie set. Like, if I were being chased by zombies and had to find a safe hotel this is what I would find and it would be a tough choice to stay or let them eat me… I’d stay but I’d probably die later from whatever I caught. The property had such amazing potential! It is located in the perfect spot for those traveling to get on their cruise ships the next day or so (as we were) it has the potential to be beautiful. It just needs to be burned to the ground and started from scratch. We had to go to Walmart (7mins away so great location) and buy towels and wash cloths because I couldn’t use the ones in the room and 2 small $5 blankets to sleep on, flip flops for the shower and Lysol. Customer service was great though.

JUST SAY NO!

Guys, I'm sorry to say this but NEVER book a stay at this hotel. It is one step away from being shut down for health, cleanliness or safety reasons, OR being razed to make way for commercial businesses. It used to be an Econo-Lodge before COVID. It is now privately owned and is in an advanced state of disrepair. The only bright spot is the pool. The photo is old, there is no grass, the hotel is dirty, peeling paint, rotting wood, closed bar, closed fitness center, closed conference space. It's cheap to stay which attracts unsavory guests. The rooms were NOT clean, dirty floor, hair on towels, hair on sheets, toilet seat was disconnected on one side, front door stuck, curtains smelled like mildew. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Family members at the front desk were lovely.
