Friendly staff, clean room, excellent location
Pros:

I have stayed here twice on two separate occasions, both times as a layover, and both times it was excellent. Very friendly and amenable staff, and a spotlessly clean, quiet room with excellent air conditioning. The shared bathrooms are immaculate with shampoo, conditioner and shower gel provided. Reception had a hairdryer I could borrow, too. The location is great, right over the road from the ferry to Moorea, and walkable to a few different restaurants and cafes. There is a little pizza place right next door which was ideal for me when I needed a quick and easy hot meal.
