Stayed there for one night prior to boarding a cruise ship which was a short walk away. room was very basic but perfect for one night. The bed was comfortable; and the room had been updated and included a modern shower. A small continental breakfast cost extra but was worth the convenience. All this plus a very friendly staff made our stay perfect

The good: great location for cruise ships; great bed. The not good: expensive breakfast that wasn’t worth it and was double the price of better breakfasts nearby. Noisy-many bars with live bands around the hotel: shower did not have hot water: one tube of coffee for two people for three days.

Truett

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We were charged $568 for two nights instead of the $541 on our reservation, with no explanation. The lights in the room didn't work when we checked in so I had to make 2 trips to the front desk and back up the elevator to place a card into a slot. The bathrooms are too small. The television remote's batteries were dead. The staff was very friendly. I think the value here is questionable so I'm not sure I would return.
