I really loved staying at the studio with the ocean view Room 504 is the best !
The fireplace and the thoughtfully selected books were such a bonus.
Bikes available for little stroll.
I would stay there again
I would give this hotel a 5 star if it weren't for the extremely thin walls
You can hear everything in other rooms
Heard someone snoring and woke up to other people's alarms!
The staff was great, great location, very clean.
If you sleep like a log or have excellent earplugs go for it
Clean and very adequate for the stay on the island. Nicely remodeled.

We loved being able to use the bikes, and the convenient location. The rooms are very small and the facility is slightly run down. Some staff members were very friendly but some weren’t very welcoming.
