"We enjoyed our suite with the kitchenette. Everything was very clean and the kitchen was stocked with the essentials for cooking light meals. The couch could use an update, but was adequate. The coffee packets provided were not great, but not an issue. The Pony Island Restaurant that is adjacent to the hotel has great coffee and our breakfast was delicious. It was so nice to have that just a few steps away! We loved the pool! It was so clean, peaceful, and inviting, and pool towels are provided. The staff was friendly, and helpful with suggestions for restaurants. Overall it was a great find, and we highly recommend it!"

8/10 Good
"Location was great. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. Check-in was a bit confusing and a bit of a pain. Apparently I was supposed to contact them hours in advance to find out how to check in. I never received a passcode or email about how to check-in beforehand. The office was closed when I arrived. After talking to two people on the phone I was given a pass code. The door lock was testy. The code had to be put in a few times before opening and locking the door was sometimes difficult as well. This unit could use a new locking system. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would visit again."
