“Nothing terrible....but, not great either.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2010

This hotel is very "average". When we checked in the gentleman at the front desk did his job, but wasn't what I would call friendly or helpful. When I checked in it plainly said on my ticket "extra bed - crib". I made my reservation online and because I have a one year old it wouldn't let me book a king size bed without ordering an extra bed. The choices were "roll-away" or "crib". I of course chose crib, and even was requred to initial next to it when I checked in. When I got to the room, there was no crib. I called the gentleman at the front desk, and he very matter of factly told me they didn't have cribs. "Cribs. You mean for a baby? We don't have those." I was immediately disappointed in both the website, and the service at the hotel. He did offer me a roll away, which we accepted, and when he delivered the roll away he pushed it in to the front of the room, handed me the sheets and blankets, and left. Needless to say, I was not impressed.

Other than the first night, everything else has gone well. We stayed 2 nights, and the cleaning staff was excellent. They even folded my little girls blankets for her, which I thought was a nice touch. Breakfast was good as well. The only other complaint I have - which is more of a mother of a young child. is that there was one outlet that was loose from the wall. Not only was it difficult to use, but a real safety hazard. Also, the shower head seemed to have some pinkish mold (I think....) or something on the edges, and the kleenex holder under the bathroom sink was broken and the broken plastic was hanging down.

All in all, I would recommend this hotel to someone coming to the area. Other than my first impressions, every one else seemed pretty nice and helpful. Also, the location is amazing, and the price I paid was great considering where we were.

Upon check-in: Drapes torn and multiple holes. Mold found in coffee pot and on filter in coffee maker. Bathroom: 1 bar of soap and no cups. Hair on shower stall floor. Jacuzzi: 1 set of towels for a 2-person tub. Carpet dirty. Day 2: toilet clogged. Desk sent up a plunger for US to use and told us to leave in the bathroom when finished. Staff did not clear clog. Coffee pot still not cleaned or restocked. Breakfast area in lobby poorly stocked and VERY dirty. Day three: We left room @ 8 am & returned @ 4:30 pm, room NEVER touched. Complained to front desk. They sent staff to clean while we went out for dinner. Returned @ 6 pm. Bed made with dirty linen, carpet not vacuumed, bathroom not restocked, coffee pot still dirty, not enough towels again. Complained to front desk: no charge for last day. They will discuss with manager. Unofficial from desk: no charge for stay and will receive future stay for free. Manager never called us. We will NEVER stay here again.

I would like to personally extend my apologies for the distress and discomfort we have caused you. I understand, from experience, how frustrating it is to have such a stay and I can only hope that you understand that this stay was far below our expectations as well.

I have used your comments in my conversations with the staff here. I use them daily, as a matter of fact, and together we are re-learning why it is we are in this business. I have asked for a new commitment from my team, a commitment to always remember that we are here to provide a good, clean room, along with excellent service to all of our guests.

It is our goal to ensure all our guests leave our hotel happy, and in the case of your stay we have ever so clearly missed the mark. I invite you back, to see the changes you have helped inspire, and to see that we truly do take our commitment to heart. You have my sincere apologies, and my personal commitment to make improvements.

Thank you for sharing your experiences so that we could make the needed improvements.

“Served It's Purpose”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2010

I stayed at this hotel for the 2010 Tiki bar opening. It is nothing fancy at all, but comfortable enough. If you want nicer, stay at the Hilton down the street. I stayed there last year but decided I wanted to be closer this year. I was even able to see the fireworks from my room when I decided to stumble back to it :-). I would definitely stay at this hotel in the years to come.

“Not really worth my time to write this, but worst hotel experience ever.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2010

I am reviewing this hotel from 7 months ago, and my experiences there were so horrible , I felt the need to write about them. It was like something out of a comedy movie.

Our extended family stayed in this hotel as a block of rooms were reserved. Upon calling for a reservation, I was told that a room with a jacuzzi tub for $109, a standard room was $69, as part of the reserved rate. Since that was a good price, I decided to "splurge".

Traveling with my mother, who reserved her own room, we checked in simultaneously. They did not even have a record of having a room for her. While the "receptionist" was taking care of this matter, she gave me my room card and I went up to put our family's luggage in the room. I was surprised to enter the room to realize that someone had luggage already on the bed (thank goodness no one was in the room!!). I went back to let her know that she had given me a room card for a room that was already rented. Thank goodness I'm an honest person!!

Coming back to reception, my mother's fiasco was still not settled. Meanwhile, she gave me another room key, to which the key didn't work. I was getting mightily irritated at this point. To make matters worse, she didn't seem to care, nor was apologetic about all this back and forth.

Eventually, we got a room, and so did my mother, on the other side of the hotel. However, I did not get the jacuzzi room I asked for, and to make matters worse, I had to pay full price for it!!!

Breakfast wasn't any better. When we arrived, the cereal, milk and juice were gone and not replenished. One staff member went out to get boxed donuts from a convenience store, after someone had to complain. What an embarrassment.

I had actually considered writing management to tell them about this awful experience, but since I see this is par for this hotel, why bother? So, find other arrangements!

“Management change damaged service and experience”

Having stayed at this hotel last year several times, expected to be greeted by the friendly staff and clean rooms. Instead, due to a change management, staff was uptight and not helpful. Pool has been closed most of the summer, parking lot smells of sewage, and "breakfast" was limited due to broken waffle maker and lack of coffee. It is sad because last year, this was a great place to stay and see the island or fish.

First we would like to thank you for taking the time to complete a review on your recent stay at the Solomon's Comfort Inn. We apologize that your stay was not what you have come to expect from our hotel. I understand that the pool was not available during your stay. Due to some maintenance issues we did have the pool closed some days in July for the safety of our guests, but it is now open and our pool will be open each year from Memorial Day thru Labor Day. I was saddened to hear that our breakfast fell short of your expectations. Our breakfast hours are Monday thru Friday 6 am to 9 am and Saturday & Sunday from 7 am to 10 am. We assure that we will have all items available throughout this time everyday. Again I apologize that your stay was not all you expected it to be and we hope that you will give us another chance if you are ever in the area in the future.
