Stayed 2 nights pre cruise, great place next to terminal easy walk. Nice view and area with lots of things to explore. Evening dinning and bar very casual and relaxing. Gluten free food catered for. $35 ride share from Airport to the hotel good also. Will stay there again.

The hotel was well located & close to restaurants and convenience stores. While clean, the hotel is dated, especially the bathroom, and the air conditioning is very loud.
