“For the low profile visitors”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2013 via mobile

Average place,located near a big church (Sunday can be fairly crowded but not really affecting the hotel residence) Relatively large rooms but some got a strange humid smell, require serious cleaning project to get it out. All in all reasonable to stay and having a little more intimate atmosphere...for those who wish to keep low profile

“Expensive for an average stay”

Stayed at the hotel during a business trip. Stayed in an apartment style room. There were bugs in the room although the cleaning staff sprayed the room. The towels had a damp smell and so did the bed sheets. The food was good and service was very good. There is a pool and gym area although I did not use.... More

“Apartment Living”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2013

Oyster Bay is miles from the airport if you are in a hurry, so just be warned. But the accommodation is great. The apartment style rooms have a self catering section which is great if you have had enough of eating out. The restaurant is small and cosy, with a good menu selection. The service is reasonable and the pricing... More
