Overall a very clean hotel and room. The kitchenette had everything you’d need in order to cook and prepare a meal. The room was spacious, the beds were comfortable, and the staff were great. The location is also great as you’re within walking distance to shops and restaurants. We’ll definitely be staying here, again.
The room was incredibly clean, the bedding and facilities were very new, and the location was excellent. The elegant, older lady at the front desk was professional yet warm and welcoming. The bar on the third floor offers fantastic views, perfect for enjoying a drink while watching the sunset. Highly recommended.
The room was nice. Perfect location, nice staff. The bed could be replaced. There was a dip in it that made it uncomfortable for me. But the room itself was good.
Had an amazing stay! The rooms are clean, newly renovated and really nice. Location is fantastic for food and fun for families since it’s located walking distance to Robert’s Point Park. Will absolutely come again!
All was good. It would be nice if the ice machine was operational. Breakfast in paper bags, containing water bottle, fruit/cup, Danish, was an interesting concept. Room was clean and comfortable. Staffers were attentive and nice.
