We stayed before and after our cruise, the airport is not far hence they have airport pickup and drop off. Florida is very warm at this time, proximity is convenient. The hotel is walking distance from shops, restaurants, and bus stop (which is few minutes to the mall with more shops, restaurants and the beach). The team is very warm, hospitable and helpful. The rooms are clean, beds very comfy which made it hard for us to leave it. Lol

The room was clean, and the staff were very nice and accommodating. It was also very nice that breakfast was included with our stay. My only comment is that the tissues in the tissue box in our washroom were oddly all moist.

They offer a free shuttle but if you want to be on time for your flight you better think twice about this property! Scheduled a free shuttle for 3pm asked the front desk what was going on. Had one shuttle show up at 3:15 but was going to the cruise port and pointed us to the other shuttle bus that would be taking us. He got in the van, started it, looked at us, pulled out, and drove away. We asked what the hell is going on with the front desk. They called him immediately and he stated he was already at the airport when he had literally just left. It took 45 minutes for him to return and was insanely rude to us and threw our bags into the van. The front desks acted like they could care less and were very rude. Only gave us a $10 refund. Do not stay at this property!
