This little property is a hidden gem. I needed a place central to the events I was working and this place is very centrally located. The saying “you get what you pay for” does not apply to the Sun Island Motel. In this case - you get WAY MORE than what you pay for! It’s clean, beautifully decorated, has absolutely everything you could ever want and need (toaster, coffee maker, pots/pans, microwave and more). The shower was amazing - bed slept wonderfully and it was very spacious. I was so happy with my stay and beyond impressed overall - especially for the super low rate I paid! Communication with the property was great also. I highly recommend this wonderful little property! I’ll be back for a leisure stay the next time, so I can enjoy the pool!

The room was a bit small but very clean. There is no daily housekeeping but if you ask for towels or such you will get them. The pool area is pretty. There is plenty of parking and I felt safe. But the WiFi is spotty. There is a bay at the end of the block and a church across the street. Lots to do, see and eat in the area. Note: management is difficult to get in touch with so make contact before your stay to ensure you get your check-in info on time. I would stay here again, very reasonable price and clean.

Terrible hotel/service
There was no one there when we arrived to check, had to call someone to check in. We stayed two nights, no new towels, no clean sheets or housekeeping - no one literally on site. I attempted to reach out 3 times to report a bath sink stopped up/unusable - no phone calls returned. Very poor business set up.

Only stayed one night but booked three. No office there and no one answers the phone or calls you back. They were supposed to send you checkin code but nobody did so as I arrived I had to call them and get it! Room was ok but bed linens were not good and smelled. Had a family emergency and had to leave early. I left at 8am and called the number 5 times and left messages. No response at all! Of course they didn’t refund me my money for the two days I didn’t stay there!! Still haven’t heard from those crooks!Don’t waste your money!!!

Room was very clean and smells amazing! Lots of dishes to make a light meal coffee pot and small fridge. Instructions for check in and out was easy to follow. Beds were comfortable. Had no hot water, contacted owner via email and manager on duty. Was told to run all facets (tub, and both sinks) and it would get hot. We let the water in all facets run for 20 min, and finally got like warm water. We gave up after letting it run for 20 min and did not get to shower.
