This is best hotel I've been to and is totally value for money! The view was amazing, the room was very clean, and the staff was very helpful and polite. We also went to the pool at night when it was almost empty and that was also very clean.

When we arrived, the room was very clean, and we loved the shower. However, during our 4-day stay, the bathroom was never cleaned or mopped. Housekeeping only made the bed and changed the towels. The toilet paper was of very poor quality — the hotel should definitely consider changing the brand. This hotel has great potential because of its excellent location, but it really needs a full renovation and better daily room maintenance. With a few improvements, it could be a wonderful place to stay.

Great location but cleanliness, staff support, and breakfast plenty of room for improvement. Room wasn’t well-cleaned, it appears that they were short-staffed and reception (they were kind/friendly nonetheless, just overwhelmed), and even the hot breakfast was cold. But it was a good spot to explore from when visiting Kingston.
