The Great House is a very quite old place. They need to improve the furniture and also the cable and wifi service. I had bad connectivity on wifi and the cable was losing signal every hour.

Hello Allan, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience staying with us. I am sorry to hear you had bad connectivity on the wifi and the cable was loosing signal every hour. We will have the cable company come in to check the cable signal. We just switched over to a new cable provider, however they are very good at fixing the service immediately. I am sorry the bad connectivity with the internet was not mentioned while you were here we would have gotten it fixed immediately. Beside these 2 issues, we do trust your stay was comfortable. We look forward to having you back with us.

LOVED the restaurant on the lower, first-floor level: The Hub. Trendy, imaginative decor with tasty Belizean dishes. The Great House entry is on the second floor (no elevator); stairs a bit challenging for us elderly folks. But they carried our bags, arranged airport transportation both arriving and departing. Warmly welcoming.

Overall, the staff was pleasant to deal with. The property itself is nice. Would have loved for the hot water not to have run out by day 3, but that could have been a plumbing issue. Would definitely recommend.

I like the price the air conditioning and it's quiet. The only two knocks are is the wifi is slow and you can't make local calls in Belize but other than that it's worth the money. The staff is great.

This hotel was fair and I expected more based on ratings. It needs updating and I guess based on what's in the area it's what is a good hotel. Upon checking in we were hit with a stinch from a sour mop. The front desk staff and bellman were very nice. The stairs are steep and we could manage but I would have been concerned if the elders in my family decided to join us as there are no elevators here. In the room the textiles are very dated and very dusty and haven't been cleaned in a while. This is noticeable by the thick dust on the ceiling fan blades; no one wants to have that circulating in their breathing space. Who knows when the last time the comforters were replaced or washed. Again, an update is in order for this property for sure.

Thank you for your review, our guests feedback is so important to us. We do apologize for the stench you were hit with. We received a bad mix of paint, Maintenance were painting the lobby area and the paint was stink, we discontinued the use of that paint. The Great House Inn is a Colonial Style Home, therefore there is no elevator. We do apologize for the dust on the ceiling fan, housekeeping was asked to clean the fan prior to check-in however did not get to it until after check-in. We thank you for your kind review of being a good hotel despite these minor issues.
