We really liked our room. It was neat and had a very nice balcony with ocean view. Wayne and Marlene were very hospitable and made sure everything was fine.

The room was basic but comfortable.

We were passing back through Hopkins for one night, arriving late and leaving early so we decided to book sugar patch inn because it was a bit cheaper than other options. This was a big mistake. Our room was in the front of the building towards the street and the curtains in our room were completely see through meaning at night anyone could see in when the light was on and in the morning the sun poured in waking you up. It was also noisy from the street. There was very little water pressure and no hot water in the sink. The shower head only spit out water in a few places and had almost no water pressure. There was no remote for the AC in the room so I asked the manager. He said we didn't pay for AC and it would be $10 US for it! $10 US for AC!!! I told him I had never heard of such a thing and booking.com said AC included. He said no it said it was an extra charge. I went back and looked, and the description of the place said all rooms had AC. Only when you click on the tab for facilities did it say additional charge. To me this is false advertising and they shouldn't say every room has AC if you are then going to charge for it. If all this wasn't enough, I sat on the toilet the next morning and the seat cracked. I told the guy as we were leaving. He checked and came running out yelling at us that we broke his toilet seat and had to pay for it! I was completely appalled and said hell no! I weigh 115 pounds and certainly any normal toilet seat could support my weight. This thing was flimsy as anything, probably cracked before we were there, and I could not believe how rude this guy was yelling at us that we had you pay for it! Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

The hotel was easy to find, on the outskirts of the village and away from the noise of the centre. There are two decent restaurants within walking distance. The owner is an interesting chap to talk to.

The manager Wayne was very helpful with where to eat and what to see. He loaned us a cooler for a day trip.

We did not have a room on the beach side. There was a balcony that we could use on the beach side.
