Nice place to stay for the night. Rooms and beds nice. Outdoor and indoor pool available. Breakfast not so great. Basic things such as cereal, milk, bread, PB&J, yogurt, coffee, tea, and muffins.
Mattress kind of too rigid and pillows very flat.
Staff very friendly and accommodating.
Ok for the price.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is suitable for one night, but overall it feels outdated and in need of renovation. The breakfast was disappointing, offering only toast with butter or jam, cereal, yogurt, apples, cupcakes, and coffee or tea. On a positive note, the staff was very kind and welcoming, which was the best part of the stay.
Value for money is not good. Old run down place with musty smell in room. Way too expensive for the room we got. Only had small 2 pillows. Had to keep black-out curtains closed completely if we didn't want people seeing in our room.
People smoking continuously beside our door let smoke smell in every time we opened the door. We did appreciate the fridge in room.

the room was clean but washing face sink was obstructed & did not drained water.
un pleasant odor was another problem.
The outside of the property was looking slightly uncared for and in need of decoration. The room was very bare but clean. The breakfast was uninspiring with nothing hot available except coffee.
Horrible. Had to leave to stay at the Hilton because it was that bad… nothing like the photos. So misleading. Horrible service. There was absolutely no way I could’ve slept there or showered there. Pee stains on the bed, bandaid left on the lampshade, broken floorboard heaters, not easily accessible, have to walk by people’s porches just to get to your room, front desk person wasn’t there when we arrived and was rude, not helpful, and also was staring at my breasts while I tried to speak to him about the horrible accommodations. Don’t waste your time or money like I did.
La habitación con telarañas, bañera sucia, el techo con manchas.
El desayuno nefasto, los dedos se quedaban pegados en el mantel.

The bed in the room was sway back and and on the floor. Light bulbs were out and the shower water was warm at best. Way overpriced at 200 dollars US. They need to put some $ in this place if they want charge those rates.

Good overall experience, easy process. Rooms/bathrooms may need a bit of an upgrade but overall easy process, great location, and easy to get around to downtown or waterfront area. Lots of shops, resturants and coffee shops.
Place looks nice from the outside. Reception desk easy to find. Staff not very friendly or welcoming
Room has seen better days. The beds were very comfortable and amenities were nice. Generally very clean except there was so much sand on the floor. Old style. The floor has a huge dip so the bathroom door won’t stay open
No bedside plugs (except for lamp which was broken).
Bathroom needs a complete overhaul. Mild and mildew present. Shower was good with lots of pressure

The bottom of the tub was very slippery , my wife sliiped in the tub,and landed on the floor striking her shoulder on the toilet and her head hit the bahtroom sink.There was no usb charger in the room.
L’hôtel est très bien situé. Très calme et charmant. Le petit déjeuner était basique mais correct. La personne à la réception n’était pas très bavarde, mais bon. Grosso modo l’hôtel est très agréable. On y retournera
He only stayed one night, but the property was quiet and clean. The sidewalks were a bit uneven and everything could use a fresh coat of paint. In the room seemed a bit dated. Also the coffee machine had to be moved to another area to plug-in because the only place to plug it in where it was situated was an extension cord, but the extension cord didn’t have a three prong plug just mildly inconvenient. Overall, a comfortable stay… Just not overly luxurious.
