Stayed there for one night prior to boarding a cruise ship which was a short walk away. room was very basic but perfect for one night. The bed was comfortable; and the room had been updated and included a modern shower. A small continental breakfast cost extra but was worth the convenience. All this plus a very friendly staff made our stay perfect

After cruise stop

Quiet, very clean and well maintained. Perfect location for cruise passengers—just across the street. Lots of restaurants in nearby but none so special. We paid $100 to check in early. About 20 minutes from airport.

The good: great location for cruise ships; great bed. The not good: expensive breakfast that wasn’t worth it and was double the price of better breakfasts nearby. Noisy-many bars with live bands around the hotel: shower did not have hot water: one tube of coffee for two people for three days.

One night in Tahiti

Basically just a pit stop. One night stay. Very conveniently located for bars and restaurants. European style room. Not overly spacious but all done great.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property is right next to the Port Terminal. Right next to a lot of bars, restaurants, and easily accessible. Would not recommend for Small Families or those who don’t have noise cancelling headphones. The walls are very thin so you hear everything outside the hotel and inside. Breakfast was not great, charged 32 USD for pastries and cereal. Recommend leaving the property for Breakfast. Easy check in, cold A/C, the room was well kept. The Hot Water didn’t work for the shower, asked for assistance but was unsuccessful. Would recommend if you’re staying one night and plan on enjoying the nightlife. Otherwise you’re better off going to the Hilton.
