"Had a great stay at The Simon hotel. The room was perfect for our family of 4.
We had a delicious breakfast that was included in our package and our server Michael was super friendly and made us feel very welcome. The front desk staff were also fantastic!"
"Comfortable and super clean rooms. We had a renovated room and beds were super comfortable. It was a good choice for after the ferry to sleep in and kids enjoyed the slide in the indoor pool."
"The room was clean but I think the floor could be cleaned since it was a little sticky and felt better wearing our shoes. The mattress just had a flat sheet no mattress protector or fitted sheet. The bed was fresh and clean non the less. Lots of amenities for shower. The little lounges at entrance were clean and attractive. The outside is being improved. Breakfast was ok. Not a lot of choices unless you like eggs. We were there for 3 nights. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
