    I really wish there was a breakfast restaurant. There was a large bus group while we were there who had a buffet breakfast arranged. We were told we could purchase coffee there if we liked, but we had not exchanged money yet, in order to do so. There is a coffee pastry shop two blocks to the left, but they also do not take us dollars. I believe people with walking issues would have a problem with this hotel.

    We love to walk. I like that a rooftop restaurant and the Brew place were not too far. We actually walked our luggage to the cruise terminal. Which was not as daunting as we thought. A taxi was parked ready to take people to the cruise ship but we would have had to wait for two more groups to go. The bed was large and comfy. Air con was good. We had great fun exploring the shops, and harbourfront. During our stay we did a really fun jeep excursion.

    Room somewhat dated and hallways very plain. Breakfast was mostly bread and fruit. Television extremely small and limited channels.

    Clean, free available parking, secure. Breakfast was include. Air conditioning worked well. It was a short walk to the downtown area.

    No wash cloths, nor hand towels; only bath towels. No close by places to eat. Location was on the outskirts of town. Windows must have been thin as you could hear conversations, radio music, and vehicles from our third floor up.

    They allowed us to check in early as our fight arrival was at 02:30. Clean towels and clean beds. The bathroom had a hairdryer - that was a plus. Continental breakfast was substantial.

    The area surrounding the hotel is dangerous at night.

    I live in Moorea. Having an early appointment in town, it was safer for me to spend the night in town and not taking a chance of missing my appointment beecause of a boat problem.

    The A/C was not sufficient. Rain water leaked into the windows and thankfully the curtains absorbed the water.

    The location was great for getting to the cruise port and walking the business district. It has an elevator and garage entrance so as to not get soaked. The wifi seemed to work.

    I didn't like that it was an old hospital 😕 Very dark hallways, it has the swinging doors from the hospital. A bit creepy.

    The staff are very helpful and friendly. Very affordable compared to other hotels in Papeete. It's okay to stay if you have a flight or a ship to catch.

    There were some youth soccer teams staying at the hotel concurrently, and they often were just outside our windows and it was quite loud as the windows have no sound insulating qualities. The TV didn't function.

    Staff was great. They allowed us to leave our rental car in the lot after check out so we could walk to town and get breakfast. The showers were great. Bed was comfy.

    The surroundings might look a bit sketchy but the people is super nice and helpful, on our way to the ferry dock we were offered by strangers a ride!

    Very close to the harbor, a 15 minute ride from the airport. Super convenient for a technical stop.
