The property is in excellent location! The restaurant on the property was outstanding! Quality food and the service was superb! The property was comfortable. The rooms walls were thin. I kept hearing kids run up and down the hallway. Overall the property is a decent choice if staying on the island.

Location is great,. Did not like basic room but upgraded to great corner room with views. We were not told at check in that breakfast only served until 10 AM and we missed by 2 minutes, but staff would not serve us. Everything else fantastic.

Poor looking hotel with a hefty price tab. The only saving grace was a grocery store about 2 blocks away that was open from 7:30 am to 10 pm.

Beautiful property. Rented the Premier Suite for 5 ladies. We had a great time! I wish for the price, a continental breakfast be included, along with a free bike rental! It wasnt cheap, and it was on the 4th floor, with elevator only going to 3rd. Also we intended to use "indoor" heated pool, but it was 40 degrees in the evening, and you have to walk outside on the walkway to go back inside to pool.

We booked our room 6 weeks in advance- we got a first floor room across from the opened linen closet and our window faced the men cutting logs for the fireplaces. In addition, the room and bathroom was very small and the sink was in the small bedroom. But, why we rated the facility low was because of the room location and noise.
