Stayed there 4 nights and had 2 rooms. Experienced terrible noise issues in both rooms. One room was located in front of stairs and the front desk, non-stop loud noises coming from the lobby area from around 6:00am… in the room above, ppl were stomping/dancing after 10:00pm. Contacted the front desk during our stay, nothing was improved. The shower was extremely tiny to the point that we could not even move around right. The beds were stiff and uncomfortable, the sheets were dirty, overall the worst experience… They are definitely overpriced.

Very nice little spot. The rooms are a little small and my wife grumbled about having to walk uphill to the hotel, but those are the only minor detractions in what was a very pleasant stay with very nice and helpful staff. I definitely recommend this hotel if you are considering staying on the island.

Hotel looks a lot better on line than in person. The rooms are dated, especially the bathrooms. Breakfast was horrible. Low quality carbs and frozen eggs. The walls were thin and we could hear everything. The staff was nice and helpful but no one was at the desk after 8 pm
