It did the job. Beds were comfortable and place was clean and fairly quiet. Bit of a sulfur smell from hot water, shower well designed as there was a lip so didn't flood bathroom. The property looks like it needs some cosmetic maintenance but it was fine. Breakfast was similar experience, it was ok. Selection was ok, nothing special but it did the job. Location was good

Clean room, great staff, nice restaurants, very comfy bed. Perfect other than two minor things - hot water is from a source with sulfur so has a smell to it, and the curtains were not blackout. When visiting in summer and it's light all evening this does mean that the room is a bit light for sleeping. Bring a sleeping mask!

The property was hard to locate. There wasn’t a clearly visible property sign from the road. Only until you enter the front door can you see the sign/logo. You are basically guessing which property your map is pointing to. There is a bell to ring for check-in service and the girl who helped me was very kind and showed me the best way to access our room with our luggage. I don’t believe there was an elevator, but we were on the ground floor and didn’t need it. When you check out-again, no one manning the desk, just drop off your keys and go. We arrived to breakfast half hour before closing, so not sure of all the offerings. But it appears to be the typical: cereal, sandwich makings, juices, coffee, fruit, hard boiled eggs, sausages and beans. I also noticed that several of our eating plates had chips in them. The bathroom was very tiny. I was hitting my head on the shelf above the sink while washing my face! We got the triple room (1 queen/1 twin). The room was pretty tiny for 4 suitcases, jackets and all we accumulated along our trip. The beds were very comfortable and I appreciate that we were given the exact number of towels for our party of 3. It was a good place to stay that broke up our drive around the island and there is a gas station close by to get you back on the road quickly.

A nice basic hotel. The hotel was not the newest but it was clean. Monst of the time there was nobody at the front desk (at least in the evening and morning when I tried to ask for directions). There was a decent restaurant inside the hotel. Breakfast was ok.
