My family and I were there for our mom’s funeral ceremony and all the staff were so kind, caring and helpful. They accommodated my entire family with everything we needed and then some. Tracy and Irvin at the front desk were especially helpful and sincere. I would recommend the Captains Quarters hotel to everyone. The rooms were spacious and clean, the parking grounds were very lit and the breakfast was very good. Thank you Captains Quarters for making our difficult time stress free.

Clean rooms. Road noise not a problem but the walls are a little thin. I listened to my neighbors TV all night. YMMV. The front desk service was excellent. Breakfast was standard American fare. I'd consider visiting again.

We stayed for the Labor Day weekend 2024. We checked in Aug 29. It was an easy check in! All the staff were friendly! I cannot express that they were truly not only helpful and friendly they made my family and I feel like home. The hotel inside and outside parameters were always clean. The staff always made us feel welcome and always had a smile on their faces. This location was close to everything and reasonably priced. Because the staff treated us with much care this will now be our go to place to stay! We have stayed at many of the hotels and or condos on the island and as of this weekend they rank number 1! We truly appreciated ALL of the staff! They are keepers! Thank you so much!

This is not a fancy hotel, but its pretty much exactly what you pay for. They must've read reviews because its better than older reviews lead on. For $85 a night, its perfectly fine as a place to simply sleep. It was clean enough, not perfect but nothing to freak out about. If youre lookin for a place to crash after some beers and fishing, then its the perfect spot.

Didn't smell musty. Rooms were nice. Have a pool. Pet fee was 50 per pet. Steep for overnight stay. They have a pool. They do need better lighting. It gets really dark in pool area. That was a concern.
