Other than the trains coming every few minutes in the middle of the night, it was a fabulous property! Very close to the port, was able to get off the cruise ship and a few minute walk to the hotel. very convenient in location. Only ask is better gluten-free options for breakfast, but overall very pleased. I continue with a five star rating!

Slept great. Bed was comfy and A/C worked great. Close to the cruise terminal B, but had too many, heavy bags to walk, but walking was definitely doable. Easy walk to the boardwalk and Whole Foods was about seven blocks away. Great value. Outside of hotel was a little depressing, but inside suited us fine. The only thing was they had no safe and no fridge. Would recommend.
