I like the room that provided a queen bed and two twin beds, also with full kitchen, which were very convenient. The hotel is old styled, no AC but fans, no room card but using the key, and small rooms. The worst was no sound proof at all especially we had a neighbor who was working as customer service for mainland US and started taking calls constantly at 2am every day.

Fantastic property! Check-in great. Friendly, professional staff. Hotel has more amenities in the room than many "fancier" (and more expensive ) hotels we've stayed at. HIGHLY recommend. We'll come back. Thank you!

I appreciated this cosy comfortable apartment. It has a complete functional kitchen, sitting options, and a lanai with a garden view. Morning coffee and fresh banana bread was a treat. It's a short walk into town.

Cozy for the right price
Very nice for the price. You wont have AC, but you will have fans around the place so do keep that in mind if you are visiting with major heat weather. The staff is super friendly and have banana bread on the daily for their guests. They also provide local bananas and papayas. A nice kitchenette so you can definitely cook your own foods and a full fridge. The living room have two futons for anyone to sleep on and the master bedroom has one large queen bed in addition to another futon! One thing I didn't like too much was the ramp onto the parking lot in the back. It would scrape the bottom of your rental if its fairly low. Would definitely stay here again.
