Great Location on the Hip Strip
Hotel is dated, but for the money, it is a great deal. Our room was very clean and just fine for the two nights we were there, and it only took a few minutes to get there from the airport. In fact, we arrived several hours before check in and our room was ready. We had a nice balcony that overlooked the street. However, given the age of the hotel, it was noisy at night. Doctor’s Cave beach is just across the street and we did some great snorkeling. Had to pay for the inroom safe. Had dinner at the Jamaica Bob Sled Cafe - wonderful pizza. All the staff at the hotel were great...absolutely no problems at all. If you want an inexpensive hotel in a great location - this is for you. If you are looking for a fancy five star hotel - go to an expensive all inclusive, but you will not have the pleasure of interacting with the wonderful people of Jamaica.
Traveler's tip on local attractions
Margueretaville is just a walk away, and is a must go to place - can swim, sun, just enjoy. The Pork Pit has the BEST jerk food and the coldest Red Stripe in Jamaica. Doctor’s Cave Beach has great sand, calm water, and snorkeling.

Not Bad For Budget Travel
Let’s be honest - this is no luxury hotel. It has 4 walls, a shower and clean bed in an air conditioned room with satellite TV. As of September 1, 2008 there is NO wireless access within the rooms. There is a computer in the lobby hooked up to the internet for which they charge $6 for 15 minutes. You are better off at the internet cafe down the street which is $2 for 15 minutes. Don’t plan on eating in the restaurant in the hotel since it has a very limited menu and is quoted in American dollars. Service is not attentive. This hotel is however located directly across from Doctor’s Cave beach and does have free parking plus 24 hour security which is always nice. They also have a tour desk and can arrange tours for you. If you are a just looking for a cheap place to stay it’s fine really. Oh and the jacuzzi was broken so it didn’t heat up.
Traveler's tip on saving a few bucks
Want to save money? Try to eat where locals eat and pay in Jamaican currency. The Pork Pit and the guys who make jerk chicken at night by the park are great places to start. Change your money at the Cambio or Cambio King for best rates.
