Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were decent and comfortable, though quite ordinary. The service was exceptional, with a very helpful and friendly staff. The location was good for exploring the shopping district and dining out, but not ideal for an extended stay due to parking issues. The dining options were varied but could have had more choices. Overall, a decent hotel with great service.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms offered beautiful indoor and outdoor views of the ocean, but the noise from the fan cutting in at night was disturbing. The service was a bit inconsistent; while the staff spent ample time with one guest, they were surly and unresponsive to requests from others. The location was convenient in the heart of Philipsburg, with easy access to the beach and shopping areas. The dining experience was pleasant overall, with delicious food, but the wait time was a bit long.
I had a pleasant stay overall. The hotel rooms were comfortable and clean, but there was a lingering smell of smoke despite the 'no smoking' sign. Looking forward to returning next year for an ocean view room. The service, although not always attentive, was redeemed by the friendly and helpful staff members like Jessica and Jermonica. The location was central on the beach and in the city center, with easy access to the main shopping areas. The dining experience, while pricey, offered a good selection of food but could improve on value for money. Despite some shortcomings, I enjoyed the facilities provided by the hotel.
