The Shirley retreat was one of the most amazing hotels I have ever been to. If you’re looking for a quiet . This is the place if you’re not looking for a place with a pool I just want something quiet and easy. I would recommend sure retreat because it was so easy to get there and so easy to check in and the staff was just extra extraordinary. I would recommend it to anybody else.

This is my second stay at the hotel. The staff was helpful, property quiet and I felt safe. The room was also very clean and there was more than adequate parking for guests' vehicles. I recommend this hotel to anyone considering making a booking at this hotel.

We came to Kingston on a quick turnaround trip on business. The property is closest to Kingston 10, Halfway Tree, Marley museum and all things Kingston. Room was quiet, clean and air conditioned. Only one channel on TV but WiFi throughout

Fabulous little hotel just a 5 min walk from the Bob Marley Museum. A safe hotel, basic but what we expected, very clean (I would have given it 6 stars if I could), easy to find, loads of parking. Staff are friendly. Very nearby in a few mins walk is a coffe shop, supermarket and a local bar and restaurant.

I like that front desk staff and cook were friendly and professional. I didn’t like that although there were two guests there was only one hand towel and the maid did not replace the hand towel or wash cloths after the first day.

Only complaint about the property itself was the clogged toilet on checkout day, but that stuff happens. The huge issue was the attitude and behavior of the security guard, who while wearing a branded uniform shirt of the hotel, said he wasn’t part of the hotel staff. He was aggressive and dishonest, loudly accusing me of lying. There was an issue with him during check-in that I tried to ignore. It got worse on checkout morning.
