Hot water & AC (TV too- but priorities) went out- mgr’s solution: “your dad’s staying here too- go ask to use his shower/chill out in his room.” OR he offered to call my dad’s room to ask on my behalf”… I’m in my late 40s traveling with my hubs- full stop we’re NOT bothering my dad bc your hotel is broken! FIX that- MY dad is not the solution for your hotel issues & craptastic customer service . WTH?

Philipsburg is best avoided but if you had to stay there this is a fairly decent hotel, even if a little frayed around the edges. It is right on the boardwalk. We had a very large room with a separate living room overlooking the beach and kitchenette. There is no patio but you can open the front window completely to feel like you’re sitting outside. The large king bed is comfortable. The kitchenette is minimally stocked. It is very expensive but that seems to be the norm for Philipsburg. The main problem was the lack of sound insulation. The reception is not very helpful so don’t rely on them for information. OK for a couple of days but I wouldn’t recommend for longer.

We chose this hotel mainly for the location, and that’s the one strong point; it’s on the main street and genuinely close to shops, bars and the beach. Check-in was fine, but not particularly warm or welcoming. The bigger issue is the condition of the hotel overall: it feels dated and a bit run down. Our room was clean, but very tired. There was a cleaning cart left outside our door when we arrived (we moved it ourselves, not a huge deal, but not a great first impression). The fridge was old and worn, and the bathroom amenities were disappointing (toiletries were partially used (shampoo/shower gel only about a third full)) and the hand soap was watered down. It didn’t feel like a 3-star standard. We also booked a “partial sea view,” which is a generous description at best. The balcony mainly overlooks a building, and you can only see a small sliver of sea if you stand in a specific spot and turn toward the narrow side. This isn’t a balcony view you can actually sit and enjoy. Finally, the listing mentioned tea and coffee facilities, there was a kettle, but no tea or coffee provided, which again feels misleading. Overall, the location is convenient, but the hotel doesn’t match a 3-star experience. Between the dated condition, misleading room descriptions, and poor-quality/used amenities, it wasn’t an enjoyable stay and I wouldn’t return.
