All the properties around the cruise docks absolutely price gouge on the nights before the cruises take off. This hotel is so dirty and dated it’s shocking at what they charge. Our bathroom was filthy and the carpet was literally sticky to walk on. Our feet turned black from the carpet and we had to wear shoes the whole time it was so gross. Even if this hotel was 1/3 the price, I wouldn’t stay here ever again. Oh and they charge $15 per person to give you a ride literally right around the corner to the cruise docks. Entire hotel needs a massive remodel!!

Good location. Hotel smelled like someone had just gotten a perm. Wasn’t great for the price. Would’ve expected to pay at least $100 less a night for the quality. It was okay and did the job. Room was clean, breakfast was good.

There were a lot of people and that made it seem like a good place to stay. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The property was not well maintained as the paint was peeling and spotty everywhere. There was a slight mold smell. This hotel needs a paint! The breakfast was great to have but the food was not good.

This was a place we stayed waiting for a cruise. I would not recommend. The only good thing was a newer bathroom. There was no linen for the pull out couch even after asking for it. After the room was cleaned the dirty cleaning cloth was left in the room and I had to go ask for toilet paper as it was not refilled. I think there may be better options around.
