Ocean Island Garden Suites

Easy walk to downtown. Shops, coffee shops and groceries nearby. We stayed in the Burma suite which is 2 large rooms, one with a queen bed and the other with kitchen, TV, and table and chairs looking out over the garden. Though large the bedroom is sparsely furnished and dimly lit at night partly due to missing bulb in one of the lamps. Suite has lots of natural light in the daylight hours. Kitchen is well equipped including a coffee grinder, but unfortunately no coffee maker of any kind. We requested a coffee maker by e-mail (no staff on premises) but none materialized over our 3 day stay. The couch is uncomfortable for watching TV - more like a padded bench. I wouldn't say it is a cozy place but it was clean, bed very comfortable and overall our stay was pleasant enough.

Dirty dustpan stored on open rack above clean towels. Dirty towels stuffed in bathroom drawer. Soap the size and thickness of a loonie. We left windows open to air out room, but that stench is ingrained somewhere. Oh yeah, garbage bag of previous guest left outside of door, in lobby. No call to the main office was going to get that room unskunked in an hour. Even longer term tenant said the rot smell was always there. Unbelievable. Protect your health and stay elsewhere. Main bed was extremely comfy, second pullout bed was painful to sleep in.
