Decent
Pros:

Decent place to stay.

Cons:

Loud people in the hallway, not the best location on the island. I want to say not the best value for money but I guess this is just the market price these days.

It was nice, clean, quiet, close to everything & the cruise ship port. I recommend it
Pros:

Place was clean, many places to eat nearby, stores to shop including Targets and Petsmart, Dollar Tree etc. An easy drive to the Cruise Ship port. I was only there for 1 night a few hours. The pool looks really nice and clean, big enough. I wish i had more time there to be able to enjoy it for a bit, that would have been nice.

The tv had a good selection of channels much better than those on Harmony of the Seas on RC lol. Quiet no extra noise from outside or inside the hotel. The mgr was very nice. Has a full kitchen, ice maker (u need to turn it on), utensils & plates, even dishwasher detergent & soap. Hairdryer and shampoo/body soap and lotion, It was a nice visit.

Cons:

All good but maybe a better discount offer $ for people like us there only for a few hours to rest before our cruise would have been great, lol
