Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
It’s ok. Our room had a semi-dirty bathroom, thin ugly towels, 2 queen-sized beds that contained very thin sheets, broken hair dryers, a tv and very good ac. For $150/night I really expected more, but oh well. The receptionist was very friendly and helpful. The location itself is very good, but you’re on an island, so any place is a great location if we’re being honest. The ice machine works good, and parking does go fast so be prepared to park on the side of the road. Overall ok, personally would not stay again, but you’d have to try it to see what you think.
