Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was beautiful. I love the ceiling. I was in the carnation room. The cleaning staff went above and beyond, so quick and efficient and sooo polite and friendly. I would stay there just so I can see her again. The gentleman at the front door was so helpful getting us a taxi and directions to a good spot for food and also helped with our luggage. Mind you he didn’t have too and he still did. As well as greeting you with a warm welcome every time we saw him. The breakfast was really good at the hotel. I was sad I didn’t get to go more than twice, because it was better than the restaurants we tried around town. It was peaceful and the price was good too. Plus it’s close to everything for example Bob Marley museum, Devon House and Brooklyn Supermarket. if you like to walk like me and my husband. We’ll definitely be going back

The staff is nice. We enjoyed our stay everyone was so welcoming. The chef is amazing great breakfast. This was a last minute booking. No extra fees, no waiting for the room to be ready. Stable wifi. A/C blows ice cold. The high wood ceiling is an added bonus. Room darkening curtains if you want to sleep in. Hot water with pull down shower head attachment. Quiet location with 24 hr security. My fiance and I had an amazing weekend stay. 10/10 recommend. Don't hesitate book here NOW!
