Great location, staff is super friendly, and it's excellent value! This was one of the more affordable stays after deciding on a last minute stay, and we only stayed for one night. But it was surprisingly well equipped! There were a couple full length mirrors, hangers, half-sized empty fridge, Keurig machine, and an extra comforter. Bathroom had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash pumps. We didn't use the amenities like the hot tub, but the place seemed pretty quiet (no neighbors near us) and only a few cars were in the lot so it would've probably been empty. We'd definitely stay here again on our next time on the island. Very clean and has all the basics for what you'd need. FYI it shares a parking lot with the local library.
