It was very clean, beds were comfy. The only thing that could have been better was that the curtains didn’t keep out the lights from the very well lit parking lot, lol … but it was super convenient to the port for our cruise and the staff was great!

I expected a 3 star hotel, but that’s not what this is. The hallway smelled like pee and the smell came into our room every time the AC turned on. I asked for a new room and was told they would clean the hallway. Of course, urine smell doesn’t just go away so needless to say our smelled like pee and potpourri. Won’t stay here again. Don’t get fooled like I did.

Our flight was delayed so badly and we didnt arrive until 4am. They were nothing but kind, quick and efficient to get us all set in our room with no delay. So appreciative. The room was LARGE. Clean, comfy. Great room. Zero complaints. We had to sleep in so we missed breakfast. Hughly recommend and close to the airport.
