Island Inn

Hallway carpet was old and smelly. Rooms, which had laminate flooring, were not much better. Musty smell everywhere. Our AC didn't work, so we were switched to another room. I could've let all that go, you get what you pay for, right? But the worst part of the whole experience was getting bitten all over by bedbugs, and then having the owner deny it on another review. I would have complained at checkout, but there was no attendant to be found. Hadn't seen anyone at the desk since we changed rooms.

Where to begin. First the rate was a lot more than advertised ($70 vs $45) I get to the room through a filthy unvacuumed hallway to find a giant puddle of water leaking from the full sized refrigerator. (They are proud of these full size refrigerators but I'd prefer a microfridge AND a microwave like most hotels offer.) Remote control for TV had only one battery so non-functional. Every minute or so there was a piercing beep from the smoke detector. Low battery? I get batteries from front desk only to find that the smoke detector is hard wired. Cigarette burn hole in the bedspread not too appealing. Bathtub hot water could not be turned off so it was constantly pouring-'not dripping-into a pool of water because the drain was clogged. Ice machine was broken. No coffee available anywhere. The only positive wss that the AC worked which was a godsend. Mattress was pretty comfortable as well.

The staff is not knowledgeable. They do not answer their phones when calling with issues. A cash security deposit is required. (note they do not take credit cards) The room was filled with bugs and not clean.
