I liked the room except for the bathroom. It was an accessible bathroom which we didn’t ask or pay for and the shower and tub were in one. I hate those.

Jean E.

Disliked: Amenities
Like: In the center of Front Street. AC cooled well. 203 has a great view and is spacious and reasonably priced. Wifi worked well. Dislike: Many details in the rooms are unfinished or lack maintenance. e.g. Missing or damaged and dirty lamp coverings and shades, burnt bulbs, poor lighting and not warm light, electrical wiring of AC outside protective casing. Ceiling fan in the bedroom is too low and forms a danger. TV's had no channels. Some mold on the bathroom ceiling. Showerhead was loose, No iron and no iron board. Not convinced that pillowcases were clean, some bathroom towels were stained but smelted clean (looked shabby). No "do not disturb" card. Headboard of bed is loose, electrical receptacles are worn down causing plugs to be loose causing sparks. Broken curtains elements. Former plastic cable coverings stuck on walls and ceilings which are no longer in use. Some investment and a bit labor to improve relatively small, mentioned details and issues would make a world of difference and create value for the user, the owners and further enhance St. Maarten's touristic product. I hope this helps to improve.

Good and clean basic room and accomodations. Air conditioning worked well and bed comfy. Some expected amenities not available such as body lotion so bring your own. No hotel parking in beach area so be prepared if you rent a car. The area was nice with multiple beach bars and restaurants in walking distance and nice shops. Generally a decent place to stay with nice staff.

Lovely hotel in centre of Philipsburg. It is getting a bit dated but everything was there and worked. Good AC. Good beds. We had a large 'suite' with m/w, stove fridge, etc. Excellent location and great staff. Not super fancy but highly recommended.

Very good location on the boardwalk near lots of restaurants and shops. The duty free pavilion is close by as is the Market where you can buy drinks and snacks. The hotel itself is very nice and the staff is wonderful. They are helpful and friendly and very accommodating. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The A/C was great. All in all, very pleased with our stay and will definitely be back.
