I absolutely loved it! Check in was seamless I was a bit worried because I didn’t land on the island until after midnight and they do not have a 24hr front desk staff but I had no issues using the codes provided via email to check in. One thing to note is they do not have an elevator so beware… I’d say to ensure that you request a room on the first floor when booking if you have heavy luggage. I was here for a short stay but I honestly wouldn’t mind to have stayed longer. The room was very clean!

Booked this hotel for one night before a cruise. Very clean and perfect for my stay. There is no elevator, however, the staff will assist with taking the luggage up and down. I booked a room on the first floor, but was placed on the second floor. Very kind and professional staff. Definitely recommend this hotel!

Loved this hotel. Very clean. Minimalistic look. Easy check in system. Front desk staff was always responsive. I only stayed one night because I had an early morning flight but definitely enjoyed my stay. 1 con is the walls are quite thin, you can hear people coming up the steps, phone conversations, the works. But they give earplugs.
Lounging area.
