Rooms were very clean. Breakfast was outstanding!!! We had a car rental so the location wasn’t an issue however if you don’t have a car it wouldn’t be as convenient. Would highly recommend if your plan is to travel the island all week like we did. Great stay, clean and delicious breakfasts

Spent a week in Sint Maarten with my son. Had comfortable beds, clean towels daily, and the employees were very nice. Down stairs in the bakery they made tasty breakfast sandwiches and fresh pastries. Great place to stay if you are going to be out and about most of the time a d exploring the island.

As written by others, this hotel has very clean rooms, a friendly, helpful staff and a good included breakfast from the baker downstairs. Do take notice that there are two flights of stairs up to the reception. A good, no-thrill choice for a quick overnight close to the airport.

Easy to find, it's a bit of a climb up the stairs but nothing too crazy. The receptionist I met was very friendly and helpful to point me to a restaurant nearby. The room was clean and comfortable and I slept well.. all good from my perspective!

This Inn does not have an elevator but the staff helped with our luggage. Room was clean and the price was great. Only thing was that our two single beds badly need new mattresses but I believe they may be updating the rooms as they can. Good continental breakfast at the bakery next store. Shuttle (available at a "surcharge") may be available for clerk told me we could just call on our own for a taxi to the airport which we did.

We stayed for 1 night before going to our 1-month Airbnb stay due to flight changes. We had a lot of luggage to carry up 2 sets of stairs, as leaving anything in the car didn’t seem like a good idea for the area. Staff was helpful in recommending a place to have supper, which was very nice & close by. We were in a room near the reception and could hear all the conversations in the evening and early morning. Pigeons outside the window were a bit of a nuisance. Breakfast was OK and plentiful. All in all was not bad for the price.
