Excellent. Well appointed cabins that are perfect for a short stay if you are in between flights. They are new, very comfortable mattresses and everything you could need although very small. Comfortable for one person, probably a little cramped for 2 plus luggage.. Bathrooms good and lounge area with coffee machine 😊

Small room, small price. This is not a normal hotel room. No chairs, very little floor space. We just needed a place to store our luggage and take a shower (in the shared bathroom) before a long flight. It worked very well for that purpose.

Good overnight hotel option

We stopped here for one night before taking the Ferry the next day. I was honestly surprised of how well taken care of this hotel is, shared bathrooms but they are very well maintained and extremely comfortable beds!

Property is great. Right across the street from the ferry. There’s 5-6 restaurants around within walking distance. The Main Street is fine. Be careful walking at night. Odd there’s no real easy accessible way of renting bicycles. Not the hotels fault. Hotel itself is great! Restaurant and a rooftop bar offer pristine views!

My main comment is that if you book the "Polynesian Cabins", pay close attention to the size of the room. It was about 4 feet by 10 feet with a bunk bed on the side. It was enough for me as I really needed just a "day room" after a cruise and before a flight home. Shared bathroom and shower facilities. Staff was great. Gave me complimentary early check in at 8:30am as that was what I needed. Concierge arranged an island tour for me at last minute. Very helpful!
