Lido Islander Inn

When i arrived here Friday night there were Matteras at the street entrance. The TV in the room did not work. The parking lot Is not paved like it shows on hotels.com and the Area where the grilles are overgrown.

When i got there, 3 or4 Matteras were at the street because the county didnt pick them up. The TV didnt work and thats a disappointment. For what they charged it puts a bad taste in my mouth on Airbnbs, so we go 3 times a year and will definitely stay in a hotel. I feel like i didnt get what i paid for

Very good

4A had an unusual odor the did not go away. Although the place seemed tidy, the floors were sandy and gritty. Bedding smelled stale and unwashed. The bed side lamp will easily tip over if not careful turning on and off. Water from shower and bathroom sink had an odor. We had lost power on first night from about 11pm until the next morning. Communication wasn’t great. Sent text about losing power at 6:32am, no response until 11:08am. Did not lose power again after that. Refrigerator was small but kept food cold even during outage. AC finally got to temp during the night and very grateful that AC stayed on all night throughout outage.

TV did not work,no one ever in "office" you had to do all by phone, very small.

Close to shopping and the beach

This was perfect for my family. We stayed in one of the condos so we had a kitchen and living room space. The facility isn't manned by in person staff so don't expect your room to be cleaned every day, but I prefer it that way. Very close to the beaches and a two minute drive to the local shops and restaurants.

Host was amazing! Can walk 2 blocks to lido beach and to St. Armand’s circle which has lots of dining and shopping.

Excellent location; short walking distance to the beach.

Great location of block and a half from the beach we were able to walk with our things which was a huge plus. The room was Florida fifties style somewhat upgraded but it needed a lot of minor TLC like repainting baseboards and providing small rugs to help deal with the sand for the parking lot. I operate a 50s era apartment as a vacation rental for half the price of this unit and double the size and I provide a lot better amenities like making sure there are bath mats and small area rugs and handy cleaning supplies to help guests manage the inevitable sand and dirt you get in a property like this those were missing and it made my review negative. The operator could spend maybe another 10 bucks a night Max to significantly upgrade this venue. Even then a lot of people would find this small room to be unusable because the mini kitchen and closet are shared space with the air conditioner and water heater. Personally I didn't have a problem with that but a lot of people would. This ought to be pointed out up front on the website
