The hotel offers a peaceful atmosphere with beautiful views of the bay and mountains, making it quite relaxing. The staff were mostly pleasant, and the complimentary breakfast was enjoyable. However, some aspects left room for improvement, particularly the service speed in the restaurant and limited dining options. Additionally, the lack of ATM facilities and management communication was frustrating.

I was really disappointed during my stay. While the hotel itself was clean and my room was comfortable, the service left a lot to be desired. The staff seemed uninterested, and the lack of amenities like an ATM was frustrating. It's a shame because the location offered a quiet retreat, but without better service, I wouldn't recommend it.

The hotel is in a quiet area, but it's far from anything convenient, and a car is necessary to get around.

My recent stay at this hotel was quite underwhelming. I booked it expecting a bit of luxury, especially paying over $400, but it felt far from that. The rooms were not only small and dirty but also filled with the noise of outdated air conditioning that barely worked. The service was okay, but they seemed overwhelmed and rigid with check-in times, which doesn't help when you're tired from travel. Overall, the location is appealing, but the facilities and the dining options really need significant improvement to justify the price.
Rooms

The rooms were small, dirty, and had an unpleasant smell. Basic necessities like soap, shampoo, and towels were lacking. The air conditioning made noise but didn't cool effectively.
Service

Service was somewhat helpful, although they stuck rigidly to check-in times and we had to wait in an uncomfortable corridor. They did transfer us to a better room without much fuss, which was appreciated.
Location

The hotel is in a potentially good location, away from the busy parts of Kingston, and offers lovely views in the morning. But the infrastructure is dated and detracts from the experience.
Dining

Dining was very basic with limited choices, and breakfast options were quite unimpressive.

The pool area was unclean and didn't look inviting. It needs better maintenance to be enjoyable.
