Of the 3 times we’ve stayed here this room was my least favorite. Mostly due to the layout of the bathroom. It eyes an executive room with a balcony ( this was nice 👍) but the bathroom was not as nice as the other two lesser priced room’s we’ve stayed in. We will be back but not staying again in the Executive room.

Nice place. A bit old but rooms were clean. Beds were good. Good restaurant. People at the front desk were very nice and helpful. Situated near old town and not very far from the cruise port and the airport. Nice place for a short term stay.

There was a constant knocking noise coming from the bathroom, all day/all night. $15 a night to park in an empty lot seems high and don’t even get me started on the charge to use the in room microwave? I loved the staff and location, but most likely not staying again
