Shirley Retreat garners praise for its very clean rooms and convenient location, particularly its proximity to the Bob Marley Museum, just a short walk away. The hotel offers practical amenities like air conditioning and parking, contributing to a comfortable stay.

a secure and clean place!

reliable staff clean room short walk

the staff provided really good security and reliable service. my room was clean and spacious, i greatly appreciated this. the location is very convenient, the bob marley museum is only a short walk away.

the absence of a refrigerator in the room was a noticeable inconvenience. it would greatly improve the experience if rooms included this feature.
