The area is safe, parking too, nice service

Very nice staff, safe area, walking distance to places. I will be back again

The entry staff friendly and the young lady at the front desk was very helpful and kind to arrange a transportation to the airport for me, my daughter and mother-in-law...

Perfect place to stay for those planning to do business in Kingston. Very affordable and courteous staff. Located off of the main road in a quite neighborhood.

I do not really have any complaints about the hotel and my experience there. In fact, I was very happy to be there in the mango season and could get mangoes from a large tree in the yard. The traveler should know, however, that this is a very good bed and breakfast hotel. As such, some things (e.g., swimming pool, gym, etc.) are not present that come with a full service hotel.

Not for vacation stay also read your reviews before you book I have to pay money when I check in also no elevator I have to bring my suitcases up the steps hallway hot rooms entering was sooooo hot they have to change my rooms three times I bathe in cold water the first night and morning so they change me from that room smell of the place I don’t like..wouldn’t go back not recommended and I only stay from dec 5 to dec 9 we leave before 12 and our flight was 3:30

The hotel doesn't provide the basic amenities in the room. No shampoo, no conditioner and no toothpaste. Water not even provided in the room! I travel very often and its very surprising for me that theres no basic amenities provided. The room charge is not worth it! I sent a message to the property but the management didnt try to reach out!

Nice quiet environment.Probably needs a little more updating but pleasant enough. If you want posh, this wouldn't be a good fit, but for a good all time Jamaican breakfast who needs posh.Staff was kind.i would definitely return.
