this place if Fabricated , it's nothing like their pictures. We got to the room, a man's shorts were soak and wet as if he was in pool and ran in to change . the room door was unable to close. The linen on the bed were all dingy and towels , washcloths as if someone slept in it and just pulled the covers back., Place look deserted. I told the reception they lied about what they looked like they only take picture of the pool and chairs alongside them to make this dump look like it's worth it. I recommend not staying here with your children NOT SAFE.

Old motel - paint peeling off of the walls, stain on white comforter on bed, calcification around the tap in the bathtub… if you need, NEED a one-night stay before a cruise, you could stay here, but if there are other options with similar price points around, I’d likely not stay here.

It could use a remodel. The bathroom especially. Towels were dingy. As for amenities a 1/2 inch bar of soap doesn't do much. Had to do a Walmart run for towels and soap. Breakfast was nothing, small muffins, one type of coffee, very disappointing. Well it was just a place to sleep. Other than the above the front desk staff was great.

Worst experience ever! There were SO many bugs (ants/spiders) crawling around everywhere! On the bathroom floors and on the desk/table, the dresser… ants were crawling all over our bags.. I have videos and photos of everything. We booked for three nights… We left after our first night… I didn’t even go to the front desk to complain because there would be no point in doing so… SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND DO NOT BOOK HERE, EVEN IF THE PRICE/PICTURES SEEM RIGHT… Even for $450 for 3nights, I expected SO MUCH MORE.

The staff were friendly. The room was clean. The hotel needs to have some upgrades, (some bricks loose by the pool, paint peeling around hotel. The price was good, and it was close to the port. It also was close to restaurants. They offer free breakfast, but pickings were slim. (coffee, toast, cereal, and small muffins). But for the price, we were happy. I think if they put some money into the appearance, it would be a very nice hotel.
