Cons:

Categories

Cleanliness
7
Mixed signals: many guests describe rooms as clean and comfortable, but multiple reports of musty smells, a soiled carpet needing shampooing, mildew and rust indicate inconsistent housekeeping/maintenance.
Service
9
Generally strong front-desk service with several guests praising helpful, patient staff who went above and beyond; a few isolated reports of rude staff reduce a perfect score but overall service is a clear strength.
Location
8.3
Very convenient for airport and cruise port access and close to shopping/restaurants; some drawbacks noted (busy road to cross, exits not well marked) but location is a key positive.
Room Quality
8.3
Rooms frequently described as spacious with comfortable beds and some with full kitchens; isolated issues reported (TV, microwave, shower malfunctions) but room comfort is generally high.
Amenities
6.8
Useful amenities like an efficient airport shuttle are praised, but lack of continental breakfast, paid parking, occasional elevator outages and some broken in-room appliances lower the score.
Value for Money
7.6
Several guests called the stay good value and appreciated free/efficient shuttle and room quality; parking fees and some maintenance issues reduce perceived value for others.
Food and Beverage
6
Consistent complaints about the absence of continental breakfast and limited food options; food/beverage offering is a noticeable weak point.
Overall Experience
7.8
Overall stays are pleasant and comfortable for many guests—clean rooms, comfortable beds and helpful staff—tempered by occasional maintenance, signage and amenity shortcomings.

Pros:

The front desk lady was amazing! I was on a trip with my daughter and our bag had gotten lost in flight and I was very overwhelmed and she was very patient with me and even brought our bag to our room once the airline found it and delivered it to the hotel!
