Clean and comfortable
I stay here when on the island for work as it’s a good location, good value and always clean. There’s also a comfortable bar and restaurant on site which I find great after a long day and breakfast is self serve and has good choice for a quick bite before heading out.

The room was huge and gorgeous. The bathroom was very nice. But if I'd known my "ocean view" was blocked by scaffolding, I would have booked elsewhere. The bar and the restaurant were excellent, but the breakfast was cold. And between the vent in the bathroom being noisy and the fact that I could hear the bar music all night long from my room, it wasn't particularly quiet. All in all it was a good stay.
