Liked: Staff & service
The hotel staff was kind. The hotel it self was ok, but dated, however the pool area could use some improvements. The pool and hot tub worked fine, however the building houseing it could use some overall improvements. We did however have an overall good experience when we were there.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Clean room. Trash all over the ground, seagulls everywhere, pool didn't look good, housekeeping never came to our room, breakfast was decent. Easy walking distance to Arnold's Transport ferry. I wouldn't stay here again, but it was ok.
This hotel is older, but it is well maintained and clean. The one suggestion I would make is to let people know when you check in that house keeping has to be requested.
Very good location. Our room was very old and run down from the walls to the floors to the furniture. Very unpleasant smell when we walked in. For the price we paid it was a big disappointment.
