The hotel is beautiful. I love the fact that it has held up over time to be available for guests now. Truly helps you be able to visualize how the stars who visited the island were experiencing it. The rooms are quaint but very lovely. There's no A/C but the sea aur cools the room very nicely. The hotel is very quiet. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

It looked like it had been awhile since the room was cleaned well. It was pretty hot during our stay and the fan wasn’t enough to keep us cool. Overall it was a good stay. It was close to everything which was nice.

I stayed in a single double room with my two kids and we were pretty comfortable. The room gets great ventilation and the fan works great. My son did not like this small toilet because he's very tall and the shower was small too but the hot water it produced was great! The staff was helpful, anytime I needed anything like extra towels, toiletries, and housekeeping services they were very prompt. The hotel Wi-Fi worked great as well. Walking out in the morning was the best part because you had a great view of the big water fountain and the pier. The street is very quaint and idealistic as if you're in the Mediterranean. I highly recommend this hotel.

Location is decent. Room is basic and was clean. It was hot during our stay being on the 3rd floor. Their ceiling fan was oddly not under the bed, but was near the window. It did not help cool the room. There aren’t amenities at this hotel. It was okay, not likely to stay again though.

The room appeared to be clean. On my last day I saw small critters behind the headboard that looked like bed bugs. There was nobody at the counter when I checked out but I left a not about it and didn’t get a response. There is nobody coffee. And gussets are not allowed to use the microwave. The hotel is mostly short term housing for island help. Stayed there 10 years ago and it was so much better. I won’t be staying here again.

Ocean view room but missing small table and extra chair i think it’s cause it’s tight room made it difficult to really enjoy. Not really worth to pay that extra price. Our tv didn’t work but staff tried to be very helpful. Also the key locked us out staff helped so resolved pretty quickly. Overall fair price made this place make sense to stay at.
