We liked the place. Room was great etc. The elevator is funky, requiring patrons to fully close cage door when exiting. If not done properly, others can't use. Otherwise, the place was great.

This hotel is in an excellent location right across the street from the ocean and boardwalk. The room was very large (I upgraded) and the breakfast buffet was excellent. The only shortcomings were that the internet keep dropping in the room and the lighting in the room was very poor. That being said, I would start there again.

Good stay at this hotel. The area is nice right on the water and the ambiance and rooms are nice. A few minor issues include the poor quality for breakfast and some minor housekeeping issues. My bathroom hose had a leak and flooded the entire bathroom. Overall it was an ok stay.

Tout est parfait. Le personnel est extraordinaire du debut à la fin. Tres bonne localisation pour visiter stone town à pied. Et la vue sur la mer et le coucher du soleil incroyable. Sejour inoubliable dans cet hotel qui vous ramène dans lhistoire avec cette architecture coloniale.

If you booked a "Presidential Suite, Sea view ", be warned you may not get one with a balcony although the pictures clearly show a balcony (on both their website and Expedia). They claimed it was some sort of a different room type and they'd upgrade me if it were to become available instead of admitting their mistake. Of course the upgrade never happened or any sort of refund/appropriate adjustment made. Overall the staff were friendly / has the location going for it. Convenient area / ocean across the hotel. Breakfast wise, unfortunately most of the hot/fried items were room temperature except for the boiled eggs and soup. Omelette station is good. Excellent fruit selection. Shower situation is weird in the presidential suites. Be prepared for water everywhere since the rain shower has no curtains, walls.. just open not to mention half the tub is taken over by the fixtures sticking out so there is no way to contain the water within the tub.

Positive -architecture of the hotel is very unique Average breakfast. Negative- dirty room cocroches in the room very uncomfortable bed noisy location slow sevice at the restaurant uneatable foot served for a dinner dirty chairs and table at the restaurant some staff with attitudes Overall below average hotel, definitely not recommended. I am also not sure if I got the correct room. I booked the presidential suite. The room look different than the one from the expedia website picture and does not feel like a presidential at all- very basic . Good that we stayed only one night.
