Sheets were nasty and woke up with bites on my head. No microwave in the room, to top it off left items in my room they found it. I gave them my correct address and they didn't write it correctly so it got sent back to the hotel which I got confirmation of it arriving. They lost my items and emailed me back with info on contacting the post office to use to $100 coverage the postal service uses instead of offering to replace it them self. 1 out of 10 stars will never go back don't suggest you go either.

My friend recommended and went with him. Got my own room which to me was cute, from the decor, tv, shower tiny sink it was just right for sleeping for we were out most of the time. The hotel has 3 bars to hang out at a lovely pool area to hang out sun, swim, drink and listen to fun music. The location perfectly located to walk around and shop, eat or drink elsewhere. The whole area is alive with people, music and fun. I could hear music and the people outside from room but to be expected in a fun party atmosphere so perfect for me, what I wanted and needed. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Only critic I have no iron or steamer or ironing board, but I'm sure if i had asked they would have provided. I am bringing friends next time or just come back myself, it was just right and I enjoyed myself at Mari Jean every moment and the area was fun, safe and lively, just what the doctor ordered. Thank you David and staff I'll be back.

I just got back from an amazing weekend at the hotel, and I can’t wait to share my experience! The check-in process was a breeze, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I even met one of the owners, which added a really personal touch. Honestly, you don't even need to venture outside; the property has it all! There are two fabulous cocktail bars right downstairs, plus a gorgeous pool that has its own open bar and food service. It's no wonder this place is known as an adult-only hotel there's plenty of adult games, and let’s just say, there were some striking swimsuits and lively scenes by the pool! They even hosted a fantastic drag show at one of the cocktail bars, called The Ball. The location couldn’t be better, either! It's right in the heart of Central Station, surrounded by great restaurants, shops, and more bars with live music, all within walking distance. The bed in my room was super comfortable, and while I could hear the music from downstairs, it didn’t bother me since I’m not a light sleeper. Sure, the bathroom was on the smaller side, but it felt so cozy, and I had a nice view of the street. Overall, I felt completely comfortable and safe during my stay. What a fabulous getaway! Goodnight!
