I really did not expect how bad the room was going to be. We were just staying here for 2 night before we went to a different island. I knew that I was not expecting a 5 star stay. The price and location was what I was after. With all this being said I am not here to hurt a business but the state of the room was horrible. So extremely beat up and dirty. I really suggest replacing the carpet panels in the room, the cleaning staff, and hiring a handyman to fix and replace broken items.

The hotel is classified as a “boutique hotel”. Very quaint and all the staff were very friendly. Room was clean and nice in size. Great location to everything downtown. There is a small bar that is really cozy and serves great coffees in the morning.

This property is not beach front, as it is advertised. It is also located on a busy street so traffic noise is definitely an issue. Checkin staff were courteous and professional. All things considered, I would stay here again given the current price.
