The good: great location for cruise ships; great bed. The not good: expensive breakfast that wasn’t worth it and was double the price of better breakfasts nearby. Noisy-many bars with live bands around the hotel: shower did not have hot water: one tube of coffee for two people for three days.

One night in Tahiti

Basically just a pit stop. One night stay. Very conveniently located for bars and restaurants. European style room. Not overly spacious but all done great.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property is right next to the Port Terminal. Right next to a lot of bars, restaurants, and easily accessible. Would not recommend for Small Families or those who don’t have noise cancelling headphones. The walls are very thin so you hear everything outside the hotel and inside. Breakfast was not great, charged 32 USD for pastries and cereal. Recommend leaving the property for Breakfast. Easy check in, cold A/C, the room was well kept. The Hot Water didn’t work for the shower, asked for assistance but was unsuccessful. Would recommend if you’re staying one night and plan on enjoying the nightlife. Otherwise you’re better off going to the Hilton.

Our room had leaks from ceilings creating puddles of water everywhere. The noise level from the bar across the street was so loud that we couldn’t sleep until after bar closes ,way past midnight.

Pros: Clean facility, adequate staffing. Cons: quite pricey, very small room, don't provide potable water (e.g. fountain), mandatory and expensive offsite parking charge (on Expedia they said there's a free onsite parking that needs reservation, but hotel clerks said Expedia lied and don't take ownership of this false information)
