I'd never left an hotel before, and visited many hotels even in dark Afrika, but this has reached anything.
Poor rooms, very noizy, reception was watching television during half the night.
After trying a shower in the morning, which gives water everywhere, unless not on me, I noticed the whole bathroom was flooded.

They try their very best to make sure your happy and do a good job at it too !!! I left something behind in my room and they held it for me until I came back to St. Maarten !!! It is a very safe place to stay -- and in walking distance to restaurants , internet cafes , grocery stores , and the movie theatre / cinema !!! A very nice place to go where you don't have to worry about getting robbed or killed !!! Truly lives up to its name --- The Friendly Island !!!

I was traveling with collegues and we had to stay a couple of nights in Travel Inn hotel in Sint Maarten. I can summarize our experience as follows:
- the local car rental wouldn't rent a decent car when I informed them that I would be staying there (I got an old car with better locks and alarm system instead of the one I requested);
- reception was unfriendly (when checking in and checking out);
- our rooms were very poor maintained (no maintenance for a few years probably);
- our rooms smelled very bad;
- balcon sliding door is very difficult to close and lock;
- water from toilet from upstairs leaked on the bed the whole night (sewage water?)
- shower area is very filthy (mildew on shower door, floor and walls);
- one of the toilet seats was not clean (dry urine on the seat)
- the pillows were very uncomfortable (I slept very bad, waking up each hour during the night)

(It seems like the hotel is a place to rent per hour. In the room you get one folder offering sex toys and across the road there is an adult entertainment club.)

The rooms prices was $117 per night - the next day we checked in at Sonesta Maho for only $132 (which is a very good hotel!)

My recommendation is that if you are not able to get a better hotel room, sleep in your rental car!

and hat is no exaggeration…we were stuck in SXM for the night because we had a 6:30am flight the next day (our original flight was cancelled due to weather). Our sea charter set us up in this hotel (dump) and when I went to pay the woman at the desk asked if we could pay cash instead of credit card. I stupidly said, oh ok…and did. When we got up to our “room with a view” (that only meant there was a window...which I was unaware there could be rented rooms without windows due to fire hazards, but ok)…my eyes welled up. My husband and I were traveling with our 2 young children and I almost threw up when I realized I just spent $130 CASH on this room that there was NO WAY we were staying in. The room smelled like the strongest and most disgusting perfume/air freshener I have ever smelled, the AC barely came on, we were sweating through our clothes and I would have been more comfortable using a bathroom in the NYC subway in comparison to the one that was in our room. Needless to say, we found another hotel to stay at, right up the road called the Maho Sonesta (which was lovely and $9 more than the Travel Inn). We high-tailed it out of the Travel Inn, but when I went back down to the front desk, not but 30 minutes after we checked in, I asked for our money back (at least some of it), the dirt bag who runs the hotel said he would not give us a dollar back, we used the room and it was not his fault it didn’t meet our standards. It was a horrible experience and I hope that this review saves another family the stress and money that we had to deal with.
