The hotel is wonderfully located, close to everything on Duval Street, and offers a great bathroom with a walk-in shower and a nice fridge in spacious and updated rooms. The service, including housekeeping and laundry, was top-notch. However, the dining experience could be improved with better quality products, especially the fried fish. Overall, it's a great value for money stay.
