Nice, clean hotel directly in the middle of Stonetown. Great breakfast and views from the rooftop. Only issue were the roaches in the room that I noticed late at night when I woke up to go to the restroom.

I liked the ambiance of the property. I loved my room, although I thought I had booked a room with a balcony. My room was great and I loved the AC. After wandering around the streets of Stonetown, the AC was refreshing. The rooftop dining area and views were great. The staff were helpful and friendly. Good location.
