Passabel, aber viel zu teuer
Pros:

Nähe zu Strand und Geschäften , Bett war gut und sauber

Cons:

Badezimmer war nass, ebenso Wasserlachen im Bedroom, keine Info über Frühstück oder Essen, keine Hilfe mit dem Koffer, alte Einrichtung, wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Meerblick, aber davor war ein riesiges Flachdach, sehr hässlich anzuschauen. Die Zimmer sehr hellhörig.

Room good, but crowded, noisy, caters to the cruise day tripper crowds
Pros:

The room was big, great view and big semi private terrace. Had two luggage racks - great for two people travelling together.

There is a pool and it is right on the beach

Cons:

Issues with the room - the kitchenette had very litte in dishes, cookware etc - despite having a full size fridge, oven and cooktop couldnt really cook - no dishcloths etc.
Bed - mattress very soft and pillows flat and uncomfortable

The real issue however, is that the hotel is trying to cater more to cruise crowd (often 2 - 4 huge cruise ships a day in harbour) and we felt like second rate citizens as paying guests IN the hotel. They sell pool access to people outside the hotel for the day, so the TINY pool gets quickly crowded by cruise passengers. Towels for the pool are additinal cost $3/towel and you pay it everytime you exchange a towel - as guests IN the hotel. Paying guests are treated like the cruise passengers and pay additionally for everything.

The worst part was the noise, Bright lights on all day and music blaring not just from the pool area but from the neighbouring properties, so you are inundated with 2 to 3 competing music, blaring at the same time. Not conducive to relaxing or reading by the pool. We couldn't even really use our balcony as it oerlooked the pool and the music was just as loud.

Also once the cruises leave, everything shuts down and finding a restaurant to eat after 7 pm is VERY challenging - not the hotels fault, but think carefully about staying in Phillipsburg.

If this is your vibe, you'll enjoy this hotel, but personally we would steer well clear of Phillipsburg if we come back.

Pros:

La proximité du terminal de croisière. La piscine. Joli petit hôtel encore en rénovation. Lingerie et literie propre.

Cons:

La jeune fille qui nous a accueillis à été assez désagréable et a délibérément fait attendre à 15 h piles tous les clients (4) qui attendaient leur chambre dans le lobby alors que visiblement les chambres étaient prêtes et le lendemain nous avons demandé à cette même jeune femme un parasol pour notre terrasse que nous n’avons jamais eu.

It is a fine hotel with an exceptional location for a view of BIG bay and the cruise liners arriving
Pros:

We enjoyed the pool and the staff around the pool. They were always smiling and extremely helpful.

Cons:

We didn't like the high price for such a small room with a limited view which was just adequately clean.

Budget friendly
Pros:

The location was good and for $120 per night I guess we got what we paid for.

Cons:

The desk staff was frankly rude and unhelpful. Almost seemed biased against Americans. Half of the outlets didn’t work in the room. Security felt poor as there were hooligans smoking weed and making noise in the pool after midnight and they clearly weren’t guests, they were also heard in The halls on the 2nd floor.

Definitely not what we anticipated based on the description and what the stay at the hotel entails
Pros:

Didn't have breakfast but dinner was poor...and the staff was not polite and friendly..the presentation when dinner was served was very poor

Cons:

I didn't like that there was no immediate parking at the hotel..therefore we walked back and forth to get to our rental..no meal was free and there was no kitchenette the closet was halfway broken the bed sheets for my sons bed had a visible tear the walls are dirty and marked up

I felt safe and the staff were helpful and friendly. The location made staying there worth it.
Pros:

I liked the location, but parking was challenging.

Cons:

I didn’t like how old and outdated the hotel is. I had to switch rooms 3 times because something was broken or not working. But the 3rd change was good because I ended up with an ocean view and the AC worked and the window didn’t fall out of this room. 👍🏽

Cons:

The room had an adjoining door and every sound from the next room was heard. The mattress in my room is worn out and every spring is felt and every movement resulted in noise or a sound.
