The staff was very friendly and helpful. Not only was the room in perfect condition, the entire property was, too. Ample towels, nice linens, hot water, and cold a/c was very much appreciated. The breakfast provided was so well thought out with plenty of options. We especially enjoyed the pancake machine and the overall cleanliness of the breakfast room. We will stay here again! It was a fantastic experience. 10/10 highly recommend!

Room and staff were good, the only issue, the room smelled muggy, like a little moldy in the wall A/C unit. I cannot handle that smell, so not sure I can stay in this hotel again. Other than that, it is so easy and close to walk to the ship/cruise, and two seafood restaurants on either side of it. Very nice.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Thanks Ms. D! Even though there was roadwork being done throughout the night, we always enjoy our stay here. The rooms are spacious, clean, and cool, and they have the best ‘continental’ breakfast we have experienced. The private parking lot was blocked off due to construction, but they provided close, easy parking in a public lot for the same fee.

Staff was amazing! Can park there to get on cruise ship. Unfortunately no restaurant or bar in hotel but a lot of options very close by. Also had breakfast included in the morning and it was pretty good for free hotel breakfast.
