Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Very nice room."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Good service. Very nice room.

"Exceptional Staff and Location."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
This is clearly a five Star Hotel. The location is perfect. Stores and restaurants are within walking distance and the neighborhood is very safe. The grounds are an oasis and beautiful. A great place to go outside and have coffee. The rooms are impeccable, the staff exceptionally kind and thoughtful. I knew I was leaving after midnight, so the staff prepared my discharge paperwork for me. As I was leaving, a bus full of Cruise Ship travelers were there to spend the night prior to boarding their ship. It was madness and the noise deafening. I had already prechecked out with the desk and was just dropping off my key passes. The staff were in total control, the guests were not. But the staff knew what to do and were moving things along impeccably. I wrangled my way to the desk and put my keys/cards on the desk. I felt so sorry for the staff that were doing everything they could for the travelers. The staff never lost their cool. They were professional and kept everything in order. I was in the presence of greatness.

Overall Score5.0/ 5
I was in town for a visit with family. I needed a place close to the port. This location is perfect. Stores and shopping in walking distance, with a great grocery store as well as cafes and restaurants. Plus, a major hospital is blocks away if you need it. This hotel is beautiful, polite, immaculate, professional and a hidden gem on a busy street.
