Great breakfast sandwich should really say sub and pastry drink at the bakery downstairs. Staff was very friendly, and the place was very clean. The location isn’t great though and there’s two flights of stairs to get up. Unfortunately, on our last day, we discovered there was a nice bar an a five minute walkaround the corner on the water. It would be nice for the staff to know some places to recommend like that. One problem was then I could not turn off the fan and there was only sheets on the bed no blankets. To be fair, we didn’t ask if we could get any. Would’ve been nice as a choice in a cupboard somewhere.

I had a flight cancellation and was grateful to find this very reasonably priced room in Sint Maarten. Since I arrived early, I was allowed to sit in the courtyard until my room was ready, which I really appreciated.The room fixtures and furnishings were a bit old, but very clean. I had problems with the tv and fell coming up the stairs to the upper courtyard. There is a sign warning people to use the handrail, which admittedly I was not doing as I was carrying the free breakfast (very good, btw). This is not a place to come if you have mobility issues as all rooms are on the upper floor and only accessible by stairs. Also the area, though safe, is kind of on the outskirts and walking is difficult due to a lack of sidewalks in some parts. I was able to walk to a restaurant in less than 10 minutes, which was very convenient. Overall, I would recommend the place if you need an inexpensive, safe and clean place to stay.

The staff was very friendly and helpful during my stay. The room however had bugs all over, it was extremely unpleasant… i wanted to change rooms but it was already night. The shampoo bottles were used, and there was only one sheet in the bed so I had to put up the temperature in order not to get sick.
