Several mention convenient access to the Hip Strip and Sangster International Airport, and some appreciated helpful recommendations for nearby restaurants. Some reviews also describe pests, poorly secured windows or doors, and an unmaintained pool, leading a few to feel unsafe. Budget-minded travelers prioritizing location and views may manage, but those seeking reliable comfort and amenities should consider alternatives.

Big Apple is Bad news Dirty,Mosquitoes eat you alive No WiFi they will lie about the WiFi NO FOOD, I mean no food at all. Totally rundown, no glass in the window to my room. Toilet does not work, no water in the face basin Dangerously exposed electrical cables Broken smoke alarm No shower head on shower Lots of mess in the pool They promised free shuttle to the airport but the driver will still charge you $3000 when dropped off although the fair is $2000 on chartered taxi and $150 on route taxis. You won’t see professionally looking staff just two men smoking mariwana. SOMEONE TRIED TO ENTER MY ROOM AT 2AM THANKFULLY MY DOOR WAS LOCKED. I didn’t sleep after that The decision is your but you’ve been warned.

Door to room was damaged. TV/WIFI did not work. No means of obtaining food or beverages on the property. Bathroom toilet seat pitted and rusty looking. No shower head in shower. Electical sockets damaged; half of them didn't work. The whole place was run down; in disrepair. Next time will stay at the HOTEL GRAND A VIEW, across the street.

There were so many problems, its difficult to know where to start. The entire property was filthy. Our rooms were never cleaned. We never recieved clean linen in the 6 days of our stay. I received two towels (stained) on day 1 and no other. Garbage was never removed. There are NO dining facilities. Not even coffee, tea or water. Pool was not clean. Bathroom had a leak on the floor that was never attended to. No one could answer any questions. Sunday apparently was party night. Loud Music until 4am. It was eventually turned off by the police. I did not sleep fot 5 days. I would never visit again.

Check in was smooth and they provided options of available rooms to choose from. The place was very run down but the view was nice and there was a pac man machine in the room which my 8 year old liked. There was no fridge, no microwave, no kettle or coffee pot, no bottled water in the room or at the front desk, and soap provided was labeled as laundry soap. The only part of the room that appeared clean were the sheets thankfully.

This has been my worse experience ever and I have been traveling for at least 30 years all over the world. The hotel was dirty. We never received clean linen. The furniture was broken. The bathroom leaked and had broken tiles. There was no dining services, not even coffee. There was a party under our room for 8 hrs. It didnt stop until 4am, after police intervention. There was nothing to recommend it except for the exceptional view and central location.

For someone traveling on my own, it was a great place to stay that was affordable while being very close in between downtown and the sangster airport. It would be a better rating if the loud music was turned off. Only reason Im saying this is if a family with children would ever arrive. Other than that good place.

THE PROPERTY REST PEACEFULLY IN THE HILLS OF MONTEGO BAY WITH A GORGEOUS MOUNTAINTOP VIEW OF THE OCEAN AND HIP STRIP...THE OWNER WAS VERY HOSPITABLE AND HELPFUL. SIDE NOTE TO ALL JAMAICA TRAVELERS, MAKE SURE TO BUY YOUR FAVORITE BOTTLES OF IMPORTED LIQUOR LIKE TEQUILA, VODKA, GIN, HENNESSY ETC.

Big Apple is Bad news Dirty,Mosquitoes eat you alive No WiFi they will lie about the WiFi NO FOOD, I mean no food at all. Totally rundown, no glass in the window to my room. Toilet does not work, no water in the face basin Dangerously exposed electrical cables Broken smoke alarm No shower head on shower Lots of mess in the pool They promised free shuttle to the airport but the driver will still charge you $3000 when dropped off although the fair is $2000 on chartered taxi and $150 on route taxis. You won’t see professionally looking staff just two men smoking mariwana. SOMEONE TRIED TO ENTER MY ROOM AT 2AM THANKFULLY MY DOOR WAS LOCKED. I didn’t sleep after that The decision is your but you’ve been warned.

Door to room was damaged. TV/WIFI did not work. No means of obtaining food or beverages on the property. Bathroom toilet seat pitted and rusty looking. No shower head in shower. Electical sockets damaged; half of them didn't work. The whole place was run down; in disrepair. Next time will stay at the HOTEL GRAND A VIEW, across the street.

There were so many problems, its difficult to know where to start. The entire property was filthy. Our rooms were never cleaned. We never recieved clean linen in the 6 days of our stay. I received two towels (stained) on day 1 and no other. Garbage was never removed. There are NO dining facilities. Not even coffee, tea or water. Pool was not clean. Bathroom had a leak on the floor that was never attended to. No one could answer any questions. Sunday apparently was party night. Loud Music until 4am. It was eventually turned off by the police. I did not sleep fot 5 days. I would never visit again.

Check in was smooth and they provided options of available rooms to choose from. The place was very run down but the view was nice and there was a pac man machine in the room which my 8 year old liked. There was no fridge, no microwave, no kettle or coffee pot, no bottled water in the room or at the front desk, and soap provided was labeled as laundry soap. The only part of the room that appeared clean were the sheets thankfully.

My daughter and I traveled a day early and although it was a last minute booking we enjoyed our stay. Major and the ladies at the hotel were very friendly and kind. Peppers Restaurant was the best recommendation that we could have ever asked for.

This has been my worse experience ever and I have been traveling for at least 30 years all over the world. The hotel was dirty. We never received clean linen. The furniture was broken. The bathroom leaked and had broken tiles. There was no dining services, not even coffee. There was a party under our room for 8 hrs. It didnt stop until 4am, after police intervention. There was nothing to recommend it except for the exceptional view and central location.

I booked the hotel for colleagues.. Upon passing by the hotel in route to somewhere else, prior to check in time, we could not believe the hotel was even open. The property was extremely unclean, piles of trash, abandoned vehicles etc. I could not let our guests stay there. WE NEVER CHECKED IN. I do not recommend staying at this hotel until they clean up the property.
