I loved the feeling of being truly on the island with the excellent location, but there were issues with the room smell and outdated lights in the garden view. The service was friendly, but the presence of smoking at the dining table was off-putting. Despite some drawbacks, the dining experience offered good value for money with plenty of choices available.

The hotel had a mix of positive and negative aspects. The rooms were not up to par, with issues like mold and worn-out linens, yet they did feature useful amenities such as a clean fridge and a secure safe. The service was hit-or-miss, being described as helpful at times but lacking in customer service skills. The location was praised for its convenience to the town and nearby dining options. The dining experience left something to be desired with repetitive basic meals. Despite the drawbacks, the facilities were decent overall.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The staff was quite helpful, quickly relocating us to a different room when we had issues with the original one. However, the rooms were in need of renovation, with unappealing views and a strong smell. The location felt authentic but lacked cleanliness, while the dining experience was repetitive. Overall, a mixed experience.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were spacious with two queen-size beds and had a clean, working refrigerator and a secure safe for our personal items. However, they did feel a bit outdated. The service was a bit of a mixed bag with some communication issues but friendly staff overall. The location was convenient but a bit off, especially without a car. The dining experience left much to be desired with poor-quality options, but the facilities were decent.

The hotel is centrally located near the Renaissance Mall and close to Otrobanda, offering convenience for various activities. While the basic and old rooms may not be the most relaxing due to noise from the nearby water filtration plant, the beachfront location is a major plus. Service can be hit or miss, with some employees being indifferent but with a few exceptions standing out. Dining options are satisfactory, especially the gourmet pizzas, and the facilities are decent. Overall, it's a mixed experience with both positive and negative highlights.

The hotel is conveniently located at the Renaissance Mall, close to the Hospital & Otrobanda. Despite being near the aqua Electra plant and a bit 'off', the beachfront setting provides a unique atmosphere. The central location makes it easy to access various attractions though having a car might be preferred.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while convenient to different areas of the Island, resemble motels and had views to a power plant and some abandoned containers. The smell of strange things in the room and old lights in the garden view didn't create the most pleasant atmosphere.

The service was a mix of good and bad experiences, with attentive staff providing breakfast but also encountering some rude behavior. The location was convenient for accessing town and having amenities nearby, but not the safest area to walk through. The dining options were filling but lacked consistency.
