The ISO is a great affordable option to some of the other overblown resorts in the area. Rooms are clean and comfortable, staff is helpful, and the hotel is conveniently located close to some great restaurants and island excursions. While it may not have the bells and whistles of nearby options, it has a pool, a great continental breakfast, and EVERY room is ocean-view.

Great location but dated.
The pros: great location - could not be closer to the ocean. Sound of the waves at night was awesome. Friendly staff and nice paths to walk. Cons: dated rooms with a musty smell. Not much space and the outside needed some updates. Parking is cramped.

A little tired the property is, but with free bikes, a pool and great views to the beach- we were satisfied. Breakfast has some fresh fruit, sweet yogurt and bakery items.
Staff were hit and miss (afternoon shift was lovely).

The breakfast could use a few more selections and a coffee pot. The amenities were unique and nice! The bikes, morning yoga as well as the pool were nice to have! As well as the unique welcoming gifts. The cleanliness of the room was just okay. Noticed lots of dirt that was just missed as well as the room smelled of mildew.
