We stayed here 2 nights before our cruise and 3 nights after. The rooms were very clean, great breakfast served and walkable to several restaurants. The pool is nice but loud from interstate behind you. They do not have an airport shuttle from Sanford, which is our airport choice. we’ve stayed many times before and will be back!
