I chose this hotel because it was conveniently located between the airport and cruise port, and it was a good price. The rooms were clean, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the hotel grounds were well cared for. The only negative was that we would have had to cross the busy street to get to a restaurant for dinner. But there was a Subway a short walk from the hotel, and the lady making the subs was awesome.
