This hotel is so nice. It's close to TGIF for persons who would be interested in purchasing food. They also have a breakfast and lunch available for purchasing. Tea items are provided at no additional cost. Staff are extremely friendly. Location is perfect for guests who are doing a tour.

Centrally located and situated in close proximity to the Jamaica House and Gordon House, in a well manicured neighborhood of St Andrew parish. A very convenient spot that I can access anywhere easily within minutes instead of hours in traffic. Made friends easily with staff and the rapport gave me secrets around Kingston and food specialties I wouldn’t have known. Absolutely amazing experience.

The rooms were clean. The bed was very comfortable. There was no elevator, but the staff carried all of my luggage to my room (and I had a lot of luggage). Breakfast was DELICIOUS and reasonably priced. My Jamaican friends stayed with us on this trip and they said the breakfast was 'a real Jamaican breakfast'.
