Parking is easy. Room is clean and the front desk staff is very accommodating. We were just staying for a night because we attended the wedding. I believe there were only 2 hotels in this island, the rest are air bnb. We picked the family room - it has 1 king bed and bunk bed which my kids enjoyed. This is a good option for us. We will definitely go back again when we decide to stay in the island again.

The room was nice and clean. Loved the fan mounted on the wall. It is an older hotel but the paint was fresh and looked good. Would have liked a better quality mattress, soap and shampoo. Would have also liked a coffee maker in the room.
