They miss emails throughout Expedia to book transfers. I stayed four nights and the bedroom was not cleaned, so not sure how often they do it. Otherwise good for the average price in the area. Huge bedroom. Amazing people working there.

It's what you expect for the price. Nothing wrong with it if you just need a bed between full day activities. Easy enough walk to water, restaurants, and main Street. Nothing special, but nothing outstandingly wrong. You need to request fresh towels etc. The rooms don't get serviced unless you ask. Has ceiling fan and air con though.

I like the location of the property and the staff are very friendly and kind. I would strongly recommend to short stay travellers as well as longer stay travellers. If is also convenient and safe. There is a security guard work overnight for the safety of their customers, very important. I would use again. Thank you Simon’s Place. Mālō ‘aupito!
