The Wheelhouse (Ocean View Hotel) Virgin Gorda

The Dumpiest Motel in the Caribbean BEWARE

Let me preface this by saying I've stayed in my fair share of low end/cheap accomodations, but this place was a dump!!! I originally booked 3 nights here, because it was the cheapest accomodation I could find and it was really close to the ferry dock, but after one very miserable night I immediately upgraded to the amazing Guavaberry Vacation Homes.

The hotel is a cinder block craphole with very uncomfortable and dirty twin beds, tiny rooms, and a 12 inch TV that supposedly has cable (4 channels). The owner was very unfriendly...she gossiped on a personal call for nearly 20 minutes, before checking me in and didn't seem to care about my patronage, which explains to me why I was the ONLY person staying there. Not to mention there is a bar only feet from the hotel that booms its music 24/7 making it very difficult to sleep and it was truly irritating.

I didn't even bother checking out the shower and avoided the bathroom at all costs except to squat and pee....I felt like I was staying at a place they would rent by the hour...it was truly that gross, definitely not fitting for a Caribbean vacation! My advice to you would be to not even consider this place as an option for your trip, you can stay somewhere much nicer for a little bit more.
