This was a horrible way to start off a family vacation to the South Pacific. Online the rooms look spacious and clean, but in person they're anything but. First there is no parking, you have to park in the back of the hotel on the street (Good luck with that) and the stench of dead fish to greet you. Second there is no elevator so definitely be prepared to carry all your bags up the stairs. And last the room was awful, on the internet they show a clean, spacious, modern looking room and it is anything but. The room had a horrible smell, and the air conditioner was turned on when we entered the room. The bathroom was small and a mess, there is a random sink in the corner of the room near the "bar" that doesn't even work, and the place has cockroaches. I believe an employee must be writing the "good" reviews, because there is nothing good to say about this place. Needless to say my family checked out the next morning, and was refunded 2 of the 3 days by expedia. DO NOT STAY HERE, although cheap and in a great location it is AWFUL!!!

Have stayed a few times, with no complaints. Large, Clean rooms. Good location, center of walking street. Islands busiest bars, restaurants in walking distance. Memorial park, with museum, across the street. Full spa massage available ground floor. Tried a walk-in stay, but usually booked. Good stay for the rate.

This was a nice little place, definitely not "high end" but good for the affordable rate. It has a charming entrance and kind staff.

Location Pros: Located in "downtown" Saipan and close to many of the touristy spots, it made for easy sight seeing. Walking distance from the beach, many restaurants, trinket shops, and a grocery store.

Location Cons: If walking around the Garapan area in the evening time, you will get stopped every 10 feet by a different spa company, asking if you want a massage. It does get tiring some times, night after night.

Bed is more like a traditional Japanese bed - hard with a thin mattress. It took a bit to adjust, but I ended up finding this to be surprisingly supportive for my back, and enjoyed it!

Our reservation also came with use of their spa's floral hot tub - but this was a much smaller thing that we expected - and did not have private showers, but just a shower head to the side of the room. A bit too open for us! We did not use this, but we DID enjoy the pedicure we were given (my husband, hesitant at first, found he really enjoyed it! And we have gone back since our initial stay to have friends get pedicures there, too.)

The room was simple, and did not include the coffee maker that was advertised, but when I brought this to the attention of the manager, they swiftly went out and purchased a brand new one for our room!

Air Conditioning in the room worked wonderfully.

Cons:
*Water smelled sulfuric, they do not use air conditioning in the hallways so there was a bit of a humid, musty smell (but that's pretty common in Saipan!)
*I am not an overweight person, but I broke the toilet seat when using it! Eek! Maybe I'm just too heavy since I'm tall
