Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The front desk was very unprofessional in apperance. It looked to me that the hotel is, or should be closed for a complete renovation. Everything in our room was clean enough, but some of the things made me feel like I was at a Motel 6. Good location for eating as there are restaurants close by and a bagel place across the street that was excellent, I think it’s called Einstein Bagels. The Holiday Inn Express is about 15 minutes from the airport and15 minute rise to the cruise port. We took a free shuttle from the airport and a $15 shuttle to the cruise port. After the cruise we took a $20 shuttle to the airport. Both shuttles were on time and helpful.
