Rooms were very clean. Breakfast was outstanding!!! We had a car rental so the location wasn’t an issue however if you don’t have a car it wouldn’t be as convenient. Would highly recommend if your plan is to travel the island all week like we did. Great stay, clean and delicious breakfasts

Spent a week in Sint Maarten with my son. Had comfortable beds, clean towels daily, and the employees were very nice. Down stairs in the bakery they made tasty breakfast sandwiches and fresh pastries. Great place to stay if you are going to be out and about most of the time a d exploring the island.

As written by others, this hotel has very clean rooms, a friendly, helpful staff and a good included breakfast from the baker downstairs. Do take notice that there are two flights of stairs up to the reception. A good, no-thrill choice for a quick overnight close to the airport.
