Categories

Cleanliness
8.2
Mixed signals: many guests praised clean rooms, pool and good housekeeping, but several reports of 'extremely dirty' rooms and one strong complaint about lack of cleanliness lowered this score.
Service
9.2
Generally positive staff feedback (friendly, helpful reception frequently mentioned) but isolated negative interactions (rude front desk employee, handling of complaints) tempered the rating.
Location
9.9
Overwhelmingly positive: repeatedly noted as extremely close to cruise terminals, dock and beach — the primary strength cited across reviews.
Room Quality
9
Rooms described as spacious, well-appointed, comfortable beds and good bathrooms; minor issues such as maintenance closet noise and occasional pests noted by a few guests.
Amenities
8.8
Good amenities highlighted (pool, quality toiletries, parking available) though some guests complained about limited laundry machines and paid/hidden fees affecting perceived amenity value.
Value for Money
7.6
Weaker area: multiple complaints about extra charges (hidden $15 fee, paid parking), deposits not refunded or double charges, and perceptions of expensive rates lowered this score.
Food and Beverage
8.7
Breakfast generally praised as excellent/varied by many guests, though a few noted missing items (bacon/cheese) or that breakfast was worse than on previous stays.
Overall Experience
9.8
Majority of reviews are highly positive (recommendations, convenient for cruisers, clean pool area and friendly staff), producing a strong overall impression despite some service/fee issues.

Pros:

The room was clean and well appointed. Breakfast was good as well.

Cons:

The maintenance closet was right across from our room and someone was accessing it early each morning. Otherwise we did not have any other issues.
