"I chose this place because the pictures looked decent and it was the cheapest place to stay for $226 a night. I was charged for the room before ever entering it. There were bugs crawling up the night stand. It was very loud which made it hard to sleep. Nothing else was offered. $226 for not even 8 hours. This place needs to either up its appeal or lower their prices."

Top Empire Hotel Reviews

Sugar Beach Resort Hotel

Sugar Beach Resort Hotel

8/10 Good
"The property was very clean and the staff friendly. We did have a few issues with a television set with no volume control and kept turning itself off. Their free breakfast is a breakfast box choice delivered to your room. The desired breakfast is marked on a card and turned in at the front desk the night before. One morning we never received breakfast. The main complaint that I have is our reservation was made through Expedia and we paid for a room with a view, but we were not given a room with a view, unless you call a view of the parking lot a view."
