Nice hotel, friendly staff, clean rooms with easy access to the Strand and restaurants. The outside deck was closed with no furniture which is shown in the advertisements. Had booked in hopes we would be able to kick back and relax while observing the activities in the ship channel.

This little place is lovely! Sandwiched between some very good seafood restaurants, walking distance to the Carnival Cruise Lines terminal and a Starbucks! Also shuttle will take you to Royal Caribbean’s cruise terminal which is a little further down the channel but still very close! Friendly staff, lovely room!

This will be our second time staying here and it’s been great all the way through check in and stay. Very convenient to some of the best dining around, long term parking available at a reasonable rate and close enough to walk to the cruise terminal.

The TV was messed up, color was off and unable to fix. The outside lights were bright and shining into the rooms, since you only have a roller shade (no curtains). Couch & furniture worn, dining chairs were cheap plastic. Very nice location, could really be a great place if they invested into the decor more. The location is awesome!

We loved our stay here! The location is perfect just a short walk to shops, restaurants, bars, and plenty of entertainment. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially Dee, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Our room was spotless, smelled fresh, had an amazing view, and the AC worked perfectly (a big plus!). The price was great for everything you get. We’ll definitely be back!
