Shell Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"No paper toilet no towels no coffee in the main lobby. rooms really need to be updated. Only good thing it's close to everything and the view is great"

"Loved our stay! Great balcony and ocean view, different varieties of breakfast everyday and wonderful staff. Highly recommended! Will definitely stay again! "

"The hotel is old and so are the rooms. Bathroom Tub/shower was filled with mold we didn’t step foot in it the whole time. Doesn’t seem clean at all, housekeeping? I had to request multiple times, location on beach was phenomenal though "

"The property was fairly clean, black hairs in the tub and on toilet, nothing patching where deadbolt was removed from the balcony door, black strips of either mold or dirt and dust from AC unit on the back of the curtains, so when you opened them it would get stirred up, counter top missing the end piece, carpet looked like it was replaced but the carpet piece around the walls didn’t match and had bleach splatter. Around kick plate of counter wood was very worn. The elevators were sketchy, but one looked like maybe it was being remodeled since it was half wallpaper and half plywood. The pool was clean, hot tub worked and was clean. The staff was super friendly. We were brought fresh towels without asking. The bedding was very clean and fresh. The room had fresh paint too so maybe the property is working on improvements. For the price it was overall ok. "
