The view is amazing the place is clean and the AC in the bedroom works amazing. We had an issue with the gas for the stove, but that might have been more of a user issue than anything else.

"Wonderful Experience at 39 Hotel in Montego Bay, Jamaica! 🇯🇲 My girlfriend and I had an amazing experience staying at 39 Hotel during our first vacation in Montego Bay, Jamaica! Out of the two hotels we stayed at, 39 Hotel was definitely our favorite. One of the biggest highlights was the convenient location. The beach was nearby, along with convenience stores, restaurants, and local shopping areas. Everything was easily accessible, making it enjoyable to explore Montego Bay. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and perfect for the two of us. The bathroom was beautiful and clean, and we especially enjoyed relaxing on the balcony. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and one of our favorite parts of the stay. The breakfast servers were friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The hotel staff were also extremely kind, professional, and helpful throughout our visit. Although Toby’s Resort was nice as well, we personally preferred 39 Hotel because of its excellent location, spacious accommodations, cleanliness, delicious breakfast, and wonderful hospitality. We truly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return on our next trip to Jamaica. Highly recommended for couples and anyone visiting Montego Bay!"
