The location of this motel is prime, it’s also an inexpensive option to stay on Lido. The hot water in the shower was luke warm, I did notify the manager- but it never got hot for our stay. The shower diverter is leaking badly causing low water pressure. There is not much, if any, insulation in this motel- extremely noisy, babies crying, people talking in the room above.. it was difficult to sleep. The duct tape on the windows to close the gap of them not closing correctly, allowed for the car traffic to be very noisy as well. The standard room barely fit two suitcases, can’t imagine what the petite room offered. The Comcast cable boxes need help, they are loose w/wires all over and they cut out. The remote doesn’t work to turn the TV on/off, but it did work to change channel so long as the cable box had a good connection. Although we left there in such a hurry, the cleaning lady was kind enough to take my husbands dress shirts from the closet that he accidentally left behind and keep them safe overnight until a friend was able to get them for us. We didn’t notice They were missing until we reached our next destination and the manager was responsive when I texted asking about having them picked up. So although we would not stay here in the future, I will say the staff was helpful when I contacted them about the clothing we left behind, and also helped explain how to get the tv to stay working.

The short walk to the beach was awesome. The property definitely needs some attention. Room was nice but could use updating. Lack of access to clean towels was unhandy.

I was immediately texted after booking with a “free upgrade” to a larger condo, this should have been a red flag. The space we were “upgraded” to did not have a functioning tub, so I asked to move. We were moved to a different condo, still not my original reservation: the space we moved in to also did not have a functioning tub, the cold water knob is literally coming out of the tile and the knob just spins but water does not come on, the heat does not work, there are no extra blankets in the rooms, and the bathroom window does not close. This is not a rentable space. Do not stay here with your family. It was clean but you can not shower and you can not sleep without blankets. I called the host and she explained the shower was from hurricane damage. I asked about the cold temperature and she informed me that the air was warm enough. I asked about blankets and she said there are extra in the closets (there are none). I asked about the bathroom window, and again, she said it is hurricane damage. I asked why she felt this space was rentable and her explanation was “there is another rental down the street for $400 a night. This isn’t the Ritz Carlton.” I explained that the Ritz Carlton is only great if you can shower and sleep there, you know, with blankets. I asked her to consider a refund and she told me I should have complained upon check-in, which was approximately 11pm.

Alma the maid is wonderful. She keeps it spotless and the cleanliness and location are perfect. Bed is comfy and room is clean! Really clean..I always wear slippers in hotel rooms because the floors are never clean enough, but in this room you can have bare feet! The cons.. there are no bikes and no beach chairs. No coffee in room available even though a coffee maker. Microwave and fridge worked. But coffee is necessary. I would def stay again because of location cleanliness.

Upon arrival we found the bathroom floor so wet we had to dry it with one of the clean towels to prevent slipping. There were multiple flying bugs due the moisture in room. The TV would not turn on nor the air conditioner. Upon texting the property manager received a snippy response about tv and they managed to get air working. When we returned later the air was out again. Several texts back and forth I was told they were working on the matter. Never had air return and slept uncomfortable the remainder of the night.

Went there after the hurricane - area looks pretty rough but that is not the fault of the hotel. Hotel clean but dated and low end. Our AC did not work but the staff responded promptly and assigned us a different room immediately. Pricing high for the quality of the place. Location was great - 3 minutes walk to the beach.

The location of this property is perfect to go to St. Armand’s and Lifo Beach. The owner is not easy to contact and response is not perfect. We booked this place knowing it had wifi so we could work and we were never able to connect! Owner said they would stop by but was never fixed.

I booked this room because it was close to the beach and it was advertised as clean and affordable. When I arrived it was dirty. There were ants infesting the entire place and no one on site to help. I was offered another room which was just as bad- these rooms are worth $50-60 per night.

This property was in a flood. You can see the flood water lines on the walls. I was just in a flood 2 months ago. It still smells like the flood in here. The tv only has 1 channel, the fridge is going to fall out of the wooden cabinet that is badly damaged from water, and the bathroom sink doesn't drain. This should have not been rented out until the drywall was ripped out. I have plenty of photos to back up my statements.

Overall the property is well maintained, the only small issue was that the small TV in the living room had a remote control that needed new batteries. But besides that, the property met my expectations and I did enjoy a good night sleep on the second floor.
