Inexpensive but a lovely resort.

An unusual property set among retail and factory buildings, but a quiet area especially at night with enthusiastic staff. A short 10 minutes' walk away from the main road between Simpson Bay and Philipsburg. Excellent breakfast given included in the price.

Was very clean in my room. I stayed in two different rooms. The one over the bakery was very loud as it was on the street. The other was close to the courtyard and much quieter. A few no seeim bugs and trouble with the tv. I wish they had a recycle bin as they give you two free bottles of water.
