Extremely Friendly & Accommodating Staff

Liked: The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating as I arrived to the island on the last ferry. The front desk stayed open late so that I could check in comfortably and even upgraded me to a suite since one was available. Would definitely stay again

good value, and very clean,...

Liked: very comfortable, slept well, bed was great, loved the blinds, bathroom was newly renovated , well appointed and serviceable, staff was terrific, no real loud noise,
Disliked: entry needs updating, as door was leeking air and should have seals replaced, and kitchette alto serviceable could use a little tender loving care, but otherwise everything was really good.
