Never again
Pros:

Its a pretty decent hotel

Cons:

I called this hotel for over 6 hours earlier on to clear my booking documentation and no one picked up only to get to the hotel and was told they couldn't take charges for my booking and so they canceled. Never been that embarrassed in recent time. If they had picked the call 12 hours earlier when I called multiple times, im sure we would have sorted it out. My friend got a room and i kept my bag in his room. Long story short, I slept partly in the lobby and the streets after a 10hrs flight from Canada. Never again

Pros:

Had to ask for a hairdryer, refrigerator leaked, a lot, all over the floor. No napkins/ paper towels in lobby restroom or dining area and it smelled like someone was smoking later in the evening.

Stay for night before a cruise
Pros:

Stayed here night before our cruise. Location was okay -- not really close to anythiing but worked for us since we flew in late and just needed a place to stay.

Cons:

Not around anything so if you need to do a dinner or something within walking distance, doesn't work.
