"Very good deal"

Had a good experience with the hotel and staff. Starting with Jen, And the gentleman that was on staff that night was very helpful and friendly as well. He even went so far as to notify reservation desk that I had already paid in person for my room and helped expediate my return from reservation desk hopefully. I appreciated the new carpet in the room and the pillows were soft and everything else was good as well. It is only a two plus star hotel but I enjoyed the pool and hot tub area. And staff were great. I would not hesitate to stay there again when I come to the island.
