The hotel was overlooking a noisy road, but the large rooms with balconies were enjoyable. The service was a mix of rude experiences along with some great instances. The location near the Hip Strip and Doctor Cove beach was excellent. Although the dining was good, the breakfast had limited choices. The facilities were decent overall.

The hotel had private bathrooms, a nice surprise, with rooms that had a private balcony but were worn and in need of refurbishment, infested with ants. Despite staff offering a can of insect spray, the issue persisted, forcing me to avoid the sofa and use outdoor furniture. The service was friendly, especially from Odell who provided sightseeing trips, but pulling luggage through the unpaved parking area was inconvenient. The location was good with access to the strip, although some repairs were needed. The dining options were basic and mediocre. With facilities that were average and in a nice main area.

The hotel is perfectly located just across the street from the beautiful Doctor's Cave beach and the vibrant Hip Strip, making it ideal for beach lovers and those looking to explore local eateries and shops. The rooms are spacious and offer huge comfortable beds, although there are some issues with maintenance and cleanliness. The service stands out for its professionalism and kindness, even though there were minor mishaps like running out of breakfast items. The dining options are somewhat limited but satisfactory, and the facilities are in need of updating to provide a more comfortable experience.

The hotel offers spacious full suites with balconies, though there was a delay in getting a room on the 1st floor. Watching TV was enjoyable in the room. The service was a mix of difficulty in communication but balanced with a very friendly and welcoming attitude.

The hotel is in a convenient location close to everything we needed.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious with a full kitchen, but unfortunately, they were near a noisy street, which made it hard to get restful sleep. The service was beyond professional and pleasant, but there were some issues with not accepting responsibility for damaged luggage. The location was good for easy access to downtown and the beach, surrounded by gift shops, but some upgrades would make it even better. The dining experience was mediocre, although the staff was very nice. The facilities were decent, though some areas needed improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were spacious and ideal for a family trip, they faced the road and were close to noisy air conditioning units that were on until late evening. The rooms could use some updates, which was a bit disappointing. The service, on the other hand, was fairly pleasant and the staff was warm, helpful, and friendly. The location was great for those interested in being near the lively Hip Strip in Montego Bay. However, the dining options were repetitive. The facilities were decent overall, but some updates would be beneficial.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, but the sleeping facilities were inadequate for a family. Despite being a bit dated, they had plenty of space. The service was exceptional, with the staff being lovely and accommodating. Unfortunately, the location on a hill above the hip strip meant limited attractiveness, though it was close to the beach. The dining was decent, and the facilities were acceptable.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room arrangement process was quick and efficient, and the layout was superb, despite only having a double bed. The service was top-notch overall, with very helpful and personable staff; however, the presence of marijuana smoke was a downside, especially for families. The location was superb, right off the Hip Strip and across from Doctors Cave Beach, providing great access to downtown and restaurants. While the facilities were decent, some upgrades could enhance the overall experience.

The tired look of the rooms was noticeable, but the service was outstanding, going out of their way to accommodate our needs. The location had its drawbacks with unattractive surroundings but was close to the popular Doctor's Cave Beach. The dining options, while limited, were decent, with a choice of Jamaican or American cuisine.
