Maybe I didn't do enough research, but at $119 it was the cheapest on the island in Dec. We were artists in a local show (poor attendance), but I was willing to splurge a little. I was faked out since there was enough coffee for the first morning, and I thought (erroneously?) that it was from the motel and would be replaced. Since we were in the show all day we really didn't go shopping, but out to dinner, eating lunch at the show. We wanted the mini-fridge for milk for cereal and beer. The outlet that the coffee maker was plugged into did not work, so in the early morning (hubby still trying to sleep) I thought I was unplugging the microwave to plug in the coffee. We discovered upon returning that I unplugged the refrig. I attempted to get more coffee for the 2nd day, but didn't find anyone and didn't have time to search. We had an amusing time in the tiny bathroom...if you are tall or over size, you would really need to keep the door open to spit into the tiny basin. I am 5'4" and my knees reached under the sink while on the toilet (tmi?) and I could lay my head down on the sink to take a nap! Ha. The water was very hot & good pressure. One ice tray & no signs for ice machine, so we bought it everyday.
I was glad I had shampoo as none was supplied, nor tissues, etc. which I guess we have taken for granted! The room was never swept, nor bath cleaned, and with dirty shoes from the art show and sand from the beach, was disconcerting! There were 4 towels for the two of us, and I usually try to be environmental. Good hairdryer. I don't have problems going camping, but didn't realize the minimal offerings I was paying for...again, mayhaps my fault.
The location is good, and the short walk to one of the best beaches I have ever seen is a big plus! (We walked before and after the art show). The island is quite quaint and friendly. The owner of Haley's gave us a good orientation of restaurants, etc. Rod & Reel was great food for good prices: incredible full moon, good service; At the Sandbar you pay for the location on the beach. We were there 3 nights and got no discount like the other reviewer --could be different time of year. Cute decorations around motel; waterfalls, etc.
Room Tip: Maybe try to get one closer to the beach and away from traffic, but only a small island, so not much...
