"The property was nice and clean. The staff was friendly.. The only issue we had was that our air-conditioning unit was not working well. The room was warm and stuffy. Staff told us to open our windows for a breeze..."
"Very nice room. Very clean. Neighborhood is a bit sketchy but we wanted to stay close to the port because we had a ferry in the morning. The port is less than ten minutes away by foot."
"This is a great hotel. The location is perfect for this city. It’s close enough to the main shopping but far enough from the noise. Parking wasn’t great but the city is mostly walkable. The property itself is gorgeous. The breakfast is delicious and workers are friendly and nice."
