Top hotels in Lower Town
Hotel Port Royal
Staff were very polite and courteous. They seemed genuinely interested in assisting the customers. Room was decent enough, although the windows can use some work, the wind and outside noise makes into the room pretty easily. Overall a positive experience though.
