Very pleasant building, cool and peaceful with good decor. Spotlessly clean rooms with very comfortable beds. The shower was the best I have had in many a hotel. The breakfast was huge and varied with some very high-quality items. Squeeze your own fresh orange juice was a nice touch.

We loved the location. We came by bus and the hotel was very close to the bus terminal. We also took a island hopping cruise that was very close by, a two minute walk. Downtown was a little farther but very close also. My only complaint was bartenders would only make drinks listed on the drinks menu. I’m 67 and have never been to a bar that doesn’t make Bloody Marys.
