Location was nice. Property was "no smoking" however people were vaping at pool, and on balconies on both sides of us. Didn't receive bed making or fresh towels, had to ask on the 3rd day if they could help, and rec'd an attitude.
Older hotel but very clean, comfortable, and accommodating. Took two of my grandchildren, 1 and 7. They both enjoyed the pool which was very clean and right by the water. We were surprised that the pool was open until 1 am but allowed us do all the activities of town and the. Come back and relax in the pool. It was great!!! Breakfast was okay. No room to sit so we took it back to our room. Choices were limited. Probably would be better if they just did danishes, donuts that are easy to pick up and go.
Rooms have a fabulous view!!!
We have made many trips to the island and plan to return. Will definitely be booking here again when we return.
We had a wonderful time at the Waterside Inn. We enjoyed having our coffee on the balcony every morning and the veiw was great. We even saw a dolphin one morning. Everyone was very friendly and our room was very comfortable and clean. I highly recommend the Waterfront Inn.
The room was satisfactory, however, photos a little deceiving online re: balcony and view.
Thought we would have a total sea view as indicated in room description but were put on the first floor where there were a lot of shrubbery intruding on the view. Not really worth $400 to stay one night. Basically a motel. Breakfast not good - powder eggs.
The beds were extremely comfortable. A little different on room service. You have to ask the day before for scheduled room service. The air conditioning was great. A little outdated but really clean.
The property was very clean and the pool was well cared for. We have been going to this hotel for many years, and sadly, it’s definitely not quite the same. Check in wasn’t very informative. When I asked why the hot tubs cover was still on, I got, “maybe it’s broken, I don’t know.” and was given a deck of discount cards, but no attempt to look into things. The vibe wasn’t as friendly as it used to be. The other guests were extremely loud and some were smoking on the property. The cleanliness was on par, as it always has been. And I love the location, though.
The overall stay at Waterside was good. The room was clean and comfortable, staff were friendly, breakfast was good, air conditioning worked good and kept the room cool, pool was very nice and clean. The hotel could use some sprucing up. The sliding door to the patio was heavy and very hard to open and close, there was a gap around the bottom and side of the exterior

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
It was a lot of money for how run down it was but it had the essentials so it wasn't bad.
Thoroughly enjoyed the Waterside. The staff was very attentive and efficient. Property was very clean. The room was neat and comfortable. Private balcony overlooking the bay was a great place to enjoy the sunrise and sunset. Daily free breakfast was limited to waffles, scrambled eggs, Canadian bacon, biscuits. They also had coffee, orange juice, yogurt, and bottled water. Nice long private pier I would not hesitate to visit again.
The Waterside Inn is as nice as any big chain hotel that I’ve ever stayed in. We originally booked two nights and ended up staying for two more. The rooms were very clean and smelled amazing! And the breakfast was very nice, especially the waffles.

The location was nice and the people were friendly. There were some issues with flies and mosquitos in the
Older property but has been updated, able to check in early, very clean, very quiet, beautiful views, good breakfast. Did not use pool but looked nice. Nothing negative...would book again!
There was no maid service. When we requested they bring us some towels and coffee, it didn't happen. The floors were creaky, and we could hear the people in the room above us moving around during the night.
The beds were comfortable and the decor was nice.
