Categories

Cleanliness
6.6
Multiple reports of mold, water damage, dirt under sofa bed and a cockroach sighting reduce cleanliness perception despite some mentions of generally clean rooms.
Service
9.2
Consistently praised front-desk staff (Mac, Perry) and helpful shuttle/parking assistance; isolated comments about an overwhelmed/rude evening agent tempered but did not outweigh positives.
Location
8.7
Frequently noted as very close to the cruise port/airport, convenient for cruises; some negatives about busy highway crossings and limited nearby restaurant access.
Room Quality
7.4
Comfortable beds and generally clean rooms reported, but multiple maintenance issues (water damage, noisy A/C, poor sofa-bed mattress, slow hot water) lower the score.
Amenities
8.1
Breakfast, 24-hour coffee and parking/shuttle options are positives; one elevator outage, minimal breakfast offering at times and paid parking are noted drawbacks.
Value for Money
8.9
Several reviewers call this a very good value with reasonable parking/shuttle pricing and convenient location for cruise travelers, offset slightly by paid parking and occasional extra transport costs.
Food and Beverage
8.8
Breakfast is widely praised as good or delicious; some find the included breakfast minimal but overall F&B impressions are positive.
Overall Experience
7.9
Generally positive experience for short/cruise-related stays due to location, staff and breakfast, but cleanliness and maintenance issues meaningfully affect overall satisfaction.

A decent location for a night or two. Not easy to get to restaurants.
Pros:

I appreciated the quality of the toilet paper, our bed was comfortable and the breakfast was very good (eggs were cooked!).

Cons:

Water took awhile to heat up to the room, and towels were on the smaller side but there were many…

Great staff, rooms and facilities. Would definitely stay again!
Pros:

Mac at the front desk was very helpful and kind. We parked for the week while we were on a cruise and the parking was good as was the price. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious.

Not bad.
Pros:

The beds were comfortable, and the property was very close to the airport.
Perry (front desk staff) and the shuttle driver were great. Both were extremely nice and helpful.

Cons:

The property is a bit rundown. The housekeeper for the 4th floor kept trying to force my mom to leave her room so she could clean (we were always gone by 10/11 each day, so that was strange).
The day I arrived there was what appeared to be a long-term guest smoking outside with her oxygen tank, which made me concerned. As we were leaving (4 days later), I saw that staff had contacted the police to have her removed (for whatever reason), but I wish it had been done sooner.

Nice place, great value
Pros:

Very clean, well-maintained facilities. Comfortable room. Super helpful staff. Very good value for money. Very convenient location to the cruise terminal. The hotel provided info on a third-party cruise terminal shuttle van, which worked out fine.

Cons:

The design is simple and spare, but everything you need is there. The included breakfast is pretty minimal.

Nice Hotel
Pros:

Great hotel not far from the cruise port, so ideally situated for going on a cruise.

Cons:

Used Uber to get to cruise port at a cost of $13 as opposed to using shuttle used by the hotel which would have cost around $50.
