Hotel rooms are old, like being in the 70's. Yellows, oranges, wicker, BLAH. Expected nice, upper-class, etc. Shower and bathroom needs to be upgraded, its small. We purchased a junior suite and it was not "sweet". Do not pay the difference for the livingroom, you should have more than what is offered. Food was GREAT! rooom service at anytime was wonderful. Location was great, walking distance to most attractions was nice. Nicer places for the price...try Diamond Hotel...now thats nice (just no dining).
--First and foremost there is no shuttle from the airport!? When one pays close to * per night for a room, one would at least expect a shuttle to and from the airport. --If a room with two beds has been reserved, there are only twin beds available, no queens. --The windows do not block street sounds, light sleepers beware. --After a week stay, one would think one could have found the pool. This reveiwer never did find it. --In a hurry? One remember to leave plenty of time for one's shower. Water pressure is pathetic. --The reviewer does not have children but even she can tell this is not a "kid friendly" hotel. --Morning waitstaff at The Pantry had bad attitudes both mornings the reviewer shelled out * for breakfast. --On the plus side, the hotel is very clean, the food is passable, and the hotel is in a nice location but none of these reasons will get the reviewer to stay at the Hotel Captain Cook again.
Nice hotel, on the first floor. The staff need lessons in hospitality. THE ROOMS HAVE NO AIR CONDITIONING! BEWARE! The windows only open 8 inches, and then only at the bottom. The rooms have a ceiling fan, but it doesn't cool the room down below 80 degrees, even when it is 60 degrees outside. The hall ways are hotter than the rooms, so leaving your door open to create a breeze doesn't work. The shower has a RAIN nozzle, so there's limited water pressure with which to bathe. Bring your own soap--theirs dries out your skin. I'll never stay here again--trust me and save your money--stay at the Hilton.
Captain Cook provides the utmost in service and ambience. Within easy walking distance to town to foot tour. Very clean and comfortable.
Great hotel but no airport shuttle or coffee maker in room. Bath is very small but room is immaculate and beautifully decorated. Great food and service.
The bed was hard and old, no air conditioning, and had to leave the window open. Because the window was open, the outside street noise was loud and could not get a nice sleep in. Food prices was expensive and there was not breakfast buffet. Not recommended.
