"Online checking was easy. Staff super friendly upon arrival and through out the stay. Room very comfortable. Fresh clean towels daily. Building does show some wear but overall very satisfied. Pool area clean and very enjoyable. Do wish Pool stayed open later. But I understand liabilities and staff going home in the evenings. Can't wait for next yours trip. See you in 2027 Admirals Quaters. Thank you for a wonderful vacation."
"After climbing 3 flights of of steep exterior stairs with no lighting, we arrived to a unit that had zero cleaning after the previous occupants.We found dirty bed linens piled on floor, a used tissue next to bed, chips and other food and debris on floor throughout the unit, air vents blackened with dirt, dirty towels in the washer, a dirty tub, food crumbs all over the dining table, a dirty refrigerator, a dirty oven, smelly dirty dishes in the dishwasher, and the icing on the cake, spoiled food...
"It was a wonderful experience. The suite was clean, tidy, beautiful, and comfortable—I felt right at home. The staff were also fantastic and helpful. My family and I have decided to return soon and book the same suite. 💯💯
By the way, the photos on the website don't do the suite justice; it is much more beautiful in reality. 👌"
"the place was really clean, but it is very small and parking is tight, main issue is there's no elevator and if you don't get ground floor the steps are really steep, we were emailed a 2nd floor room number however when we arrived it ended up being 3rd floor, door locks are a bit tricky as well... but over all its well kept older building and everyone was friendly and its very close to anything you would really need"
