Top The Giant Chessboard Hotel Reviews

Masterpiece Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, nice bed and shower. It is about 10 minutes walk to the restaurants and shopping area. The breakfast was also nice! I wished they have a paper cup for coffee to go. The room has no AC I think so it might be hot in summer but we used the fan. Everything was nice!"

Blue Sail Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location to look out over the harbor and rock. Easy walking to shops and restaurants. Staff was very friendly and room was spacious and relaxing."

Coastal Breeze Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Pros: Staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was probably one of the most comfortable we’ve slept in. The sheets were soft and silky. Walking distance to everything. Air conditioning. Cons: Small shower. Slight smell of old cigarette smoke, like the room used to be a smoking room."

La Serena Inn

8/10 Good

"Proximity to downtown and beach easily accessible with two stairways and easy parking. Bathrooms bedding all appeared very clean. A little less luxurious than my previous stays? Perhaps new owners? No drinking water access or breakfasts which were available to me last time. But nice service staff and the place felt safe and less dated than other hotels in the area"
