This property really was a good location. Only complaint was the shower and toilet. Shower and toliey had low water pressure. Outside of that, this is a great central location with easy access to the beaches and shopping. Staff were friendly.

We enjoyed our stay. Room was small but clean and the bed was comfy. Their restaurant the Waffle Spot had good food and the waitress was very nice. Show your room key for a discount. The only issue is the parking fee, but other than that I would recommend this hotel.

Of the 3 times we’ve stayed here this room was my least favorite. Mostly due to the layout of the bathroom. It eyes an executive room with a balcony ( this was nice 👍) but the bathroom was not as nice as the other two lesser priced room’s we’ve stayed in. We will be back but not staying again in the Executive room.

Nice place. A bit old but rooms were clean. Beds were good. Good restaurant. People at the front desk were very nice and helpful. Situated near old town and not very far from the cruise port and the airport. Nice place for a short term stay.

There was a constant knocking noise coming from the bathroom, all day/all night. $15 a night to park in an empty lot seems high and don’t even get me started on the charge to use the in room microwave? I loved the staff and location, but most likely not staying again
