My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable but had multiple stains on furniture and bedding, which was a bit off-putting. On the bright side, they had all the necessary facilities for a short stay. The service was exceptional, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a positive experience. The location was lovely, offering great views of the mountains and a quiet atmosphere like a local inn. However, being along a truck route was a downside. The dining options were basic but filling, although the homestyle Japanese dishes were a standout. Facilities were decent, but nothing extraordinary stood out.

The hotel rooms are a bit dated but very clean and overall great. The service was pleasant and helpful, though there was a small hiccup with promised keys. The location is convenient to attractions and harbor, with only a minor downside of roosters nearby. Dining was enjoyable with a variety of fruit options. Facilities were good with available beach equipment.

The hotel provides a very ok experience with average rooms that have a nice bathroom and a great lanai for relaxation but some furniture and bedding had visible stains. The service is top-notch with always friendly and helpful staff. Although the industrial-feel location is convenient for airport access and visiting different parts of the island, the surroundings are mainly industrial. The dining options are quite limited, but the morning free breakfast is appreciated for its simplicity.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean, there were some issues with noise and water dripping onto the floor. The old-school vibe was cool, but the loudness was a drawback.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and made me feel like family, which was wonderful. They were extremely helpful in retrieving our lost items though.

Location

The location wasn't the best as it was next to the harbor with daily working noise. The proximity to the port installations and a business neighborhood was not ideal. On the positive side, being near the port installations meant we could cook our own food, which was convenient.

The dining options were really poor, with limited choices that were disappointing. The availability of smoked fish was a plus, but overall, the breakfast experience fell short of expectations.
