Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We stayed in the "old" building. The room and facilities were very nice/excellent. I would recommend it to any traveler.
Two items I would "down rate" on; there was no ice machine, always had to go to the main building to purchase bags when needed, and there was no closet in the room. Need to add a wardrobe.
Arrived early with 2 cars in the entire parking lot and was told I’d have to pay $25/hr that I was early, mind you the entire night cost $70. I was out in a room that was directly across from the main lobby/breakfast area. All night long I heard noise and then promptly at 5:25 AM was woken up to the staff setting up the breakfast area on the other side of my door. Unsure of whether it was a staff member or another guest, but from 5:45 AM-7 AM, they had a very loud conversation on speakerphone with a friend right outside my door. I was unable to get any sleep prior to all of this because of how loud the AC unit was, it sounded like a helicopter. I also attempted to go to the “new bar” that had been open for 2 full months and after leaving noticed my card was charged $50 when my bill was $12.72 with tip. I went back later and what questioned the bartender who stated he forgot to inform me my drink would have a $50 hold. This is in addition to the $75 hold from the hotel right downstairs. Overall, terrible experience and on my birthday of all days.
The rooms were kind of hot at night even with the air on 69. Also the building we were staying in did not have a front desk, front desk and any person you needed to talk to for anything was clear across the parking lot in another building. Other than that the hotel is nice and reasonable and in a perfect location!

When we go to port a I’ve always stayed here! Never had a problem
I was pleasantly surprised with our stay at Hotel Lydia. While the hotel had the island character on the exterior, the hotel room was modern, clean, and spacious. There was great air conditioning and a ceiling fan in the room which made the room nice and cold for the night. Would highly recommend this Hotel to others staying in Port A!

Hotel under construction. Multiple buildings. New room was great. Breakfast was served in another building beside the hotel and was abysmal.
This is a newly remodeled hotel. One of the best we’ve stayed at on the island. Has a nice breakfast. They also have a bar on the 3rd floor. Easy access right by the ferry.
