Island Inn & Suites, an Ascend Collection Hotel

Island Inn & Suites, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good
"The location and view was awesome. It was calm and inviting. The staff was very helpful and kind. Although the rooms could use work, the atmosphere and the views from our room made up for it. It’s feels and is a kind of “ma and pa” place. To my wife and I it was a great get away and a great place to detox from the world outside."

"The room was excellent--modern, clean and comfortable. The big drawback for me was loss of internet in our particular room."

Springhill Suites by Marriott Prince Frederick

Springhill Suites by Marriott Prince Frederick

10/10 Excellent
"I loved the hotel however, the bathroom shower curtain bar was leaning forward and needs to be adjusted. Water from the shower kept getting all over the floor and we had to use the towels to soak up the floor water. So I called and they never brought new ones. I went to the front desk and they never brought new ones. On my way out I mentioned it and got points on my Marriott account. Did not do me any good. Thank goodness we had access to the pool towels. I gave a low rating on maintenance because the wallpaper seams in the bathrooms are starting to separate and look cruddy. The bed was comfortable and the food was decent. Staff are friendly except the guy who swore because I asked him where the ice machine was. All else good."

"The room was pretty clean. The toilet was not secure on the tile floor so when you sat and got up it moved. The tub could've been cleaned better and there was an unpleasant odor in the hallway and stairway. Room walls are very thin so you can hear your neighbor talking through wall."

"The rooms we had were newly renovated. Everything was new. New paint, new floors, new bedding. So, it just felt clean. The only thing I didn’t like was there was no coffee in rooms or the lobby. Other than that, it was perfect for us."

"I was hoping for the indoor pool to be open but it wasn’t and I don’t think it indicated that on Hotels.com site. But it seems anywhere we go the pool is rarely open unless it is an outdoor pool! Otherwise they do have a breakfast but it only was small, bagels, cereal options, fresh fruit, a few other things but all in all very limited. Great room nice to sleep and had no other problems. Definitely closer than most of the hotel options in area. Very accessible to all of the things we chose to do. Closest was Myrtle Point Park which we recommend going to!"
