“Damaged by Hurricane - Not Habitable”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2006
3
people found this review helpful

Do not stay here!!! We were told by the Molcas that the hotel was repaired after the hurricane and was fully operational except for the restaurant. The hotel is not habitable and we had to move to another hotel. The balconies are blown off and, if you can get your sliding glass door open, you step off into thin air two stories above the street. There is so much mold in this hotel that you can't breathe. One room had green algae growing down the walls. Another room given to our group had water seeping out of the bathroom wall, running across the floor, and out the door. The water pump for the hotel water supply failed while we were there and we couldn't bathe or flush the toilets. We called our tour company and got our money back but not before we had a very bad experience here. This hotel is too badly damaged from the hurricane and will have to be torn down. We repeat: it is NOT habitable since the hurricane.

“From the outside it looked OK, but”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2005

We needed a hotel for one night only. Central location was important. The pluses: air conditioning worked well, they had a small refrigerator, the bathroom was clean and the water pressure in the shower was fine. The minuses: poorly maintained, stained tiles, cracked sliding glass door, the door in the room could not be locked, the door leading to the balcony did not lock. We were given a different room and it was better but did not have a security lock on the door. The hotel was noisy being on a busy street. The receptionist was surly. You did not feel welcome at all. This hotel used to be very, very nice. What a shame.

“Awesome”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2005

My friend and I wanted a budget friendly vacation. Hotel Molcas was perfect. The price was great, staff was friendly and it was right next to the beach, main strip and ferry dock! I loved it and would definitely stay there again!

“Try another place”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2005

We've stayed at the Molcas on many occasions with groups we bring to the area. It used to be a great place, but is apparently under new management. Last time we stayed they shorted us a room. No help from bellboys, nobody speaks English. Rooms aren't as clean as they used to be. Noisy club near hotel. We've found a new place to stay.
