We stayed here before they placed us in a really bad dirty room, roaches, and just super dirty place. Not worth staying here for the money. They claimed before we booked though a 3rd party site (you) that placed us in a building behind the building that’s ocean front, this was in a room right above the pool and was uncomfortable trip!
Had to wait 40 min after check in time to get room. We were concerned since it was our anniversary and we had reservations that would have been in jeopardy if we had to waited 15 more min. However, we did not and we rushed it a bit and made it on time.. thoroughly enjoyed the few nights we stayed and next year on our anniversary we plan to add a day.

This is an example of a resort that HAS always known how to have good customer service for sixty years, and they continually update their room decor and their facility. We wanted to be treated well for our fifties wedding anniversary and we were very happy that we chose this resort

Loved the location of this boutique hotel right on the beach. Just what we were looking for. And old resort that was very clean and updated. Perfect property for us.

Loved the ability to walk into the beach, sunrises on the ocean were great! I actually found myself in the area needing a place to work from and it was perfect good WiFi for zoom calls and great food onsite as well as restaurants in walking distances Staff was wonderful too!

Loved the beach. Room very nice except for loud AC. Pool area very nice but chased away by loud unpleasant music. Were charged $20 a night to park on site.

Absolute worst hotel staff I have ever dealt with. Room was dirty. Somebody else’s dirty tray outside the door. The front desk staff member was extremely rude. I have never dealt with a worse staff member of a hotel. This is the first review I’ve ever left on a hotel or restaurant but I felt it was warranted. Terrible, absolutely terrible staff member and facility. Stay away.

Erik, thank you for your review. As stated prior to your stay and on the Expedia website that we are not a pet friendly hotel. I would like to let you know that the only pet friendly hotels on the island are Summer Sands Suites and Waterway lodge. We would like to extend our apologies as we do strive for all of our guests to have a positive stay with us.
The Blockade Runner was beautiful, well maintained, clean, and most importantly, right on the beach, The staff members were professional, and friendly. Check-in and check-out process went smoothly. I would recommend this property to others.

We really liked the thoughtfulness of how the place is laid out and the option for being outside and not being in the beach. The green area and pool/hot tub facilities were great. Everything is top notch.
It would be nice if there was some complimentary food/beverages and free parking included in the price.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for the feedback; we are working on making positive changes to the resort so all of our guests can have the best experience possible.
The property is old and it shows. The rooms were clean but have no noise reduction. We could hear the TV's in other rooms, and every person who walked in the hallway. There was valet parking but we were constantly hunting down the valets when we needed our car. The outside bar was nice but was not sufficiently stocked to serve the drinks on the menu.

2nd time staying at blockade runner. Room was not fully cleaned. Food was left in mini fridge from previous guests, floors not swept fully. Only other concern was having to take cold showers. The water would not get warm. Especially between 5 to 7pm. Did not have these issues on our previous stay.
