A fabulous value near the Roosevelt Cottage!
Pros:

It didn't look like much from the outside. But the rooms were freshly redecorated and the bed was super comfortable. Immaculately clean! Appreciated a refrigerator in the room as well as a microwave.

Cons:

The stall shower could have been slightly larger. This is a quibble.

Pros:

Beautiful location overlooking Friars bay. Lots of outdoor relaxing chairs to enjoy the views. The room was spotless and the shower was hot. Coffee ☕️maker in the room along with micro n frig. Staff is just delightful. Nice location and the restaurant next door was good.

Cons:

Walls are pretty thin between units but thankfully it wasn't much of an issue. I didn't find the bed particularly comfortable. But I slept! I would stay again.

Comfortable and relaxing!
Pros:

I loved the cleanliness of the room. The staff was exceptional. Loved the decor and appreciated the lawn chairs in front of our room. Beds were very comfortable

Cons:

I was disappointed that there was no cutlery, kettle or dishes. Even bare minimum would have been nice but the ladies were very accommodating. I should have probably looked a little closer when I booked
