9.5
Very good: frequently noted as close to the cruise port and 'close to everything,' convenient for visitors despite a few comments about limited walkable restaurants.
Room Quality
7.5
Generally comfortable (good AC, comfy beds, well-equipped kitchenettes) but mixed due to issues like awkward TV placement, limited power outlets, noisy rooms near laundry, rough towels, and aging bathroom fixtures.

Strong: many rooms include stove, refrigerator, microwave and even a dishwasher; on-site pantry noted and nothing appeared overpriced; lacks complimentary breakfast offerings.
Value for Money
9.5
High value for many guests: several comments cited good price and solid sleep quality; isolated negative comments about cleanliness affected some guests' perception of value.

Pros:

Best hotel I've stayed at in a long time . Most hotels the ac barely cools the room. When we walked in our room it was cold! That matters in Texas lol
Everything was so clean. The outside landscaping very nice too. A room with a cooktop, sink, and even a dishwadher?? I've never seen a dishwasher in a hotel. The bed was comfy. Plenty of pillows.

Cons:

The tv was mounted in the corner. I think the better place would have been to put it directly in front of the bed.

Read above
Pros:

We had two rooms. One of the rooms in 304 carpet was wet and smelled of mildew. Our last night there, we couldn’t access our room with card key due to battery went out. Had to wait for someone to come let us in the room. The room was muggy even when adjusting the temperature and wet carpet. Not ideal and will never stay at this hotel again. Not worth the money. The other room 307, when opening the window, we immediately saw a trash pile of tires and whatever else out there. Not a pleasant sight. The toilet was not clean and still had urine on it, which lets me know they didn’t clean the hotel room and its entirety. Again, we will NEVER stay at this hotel again and I rate the stay less than 0 if I could. Both rooms that were booked were ready to leave. I will NEVER come back to this hotel.

Cons:

Not clean and dirty and wet carpet

Do you really get what you pay for?
Pros:

Location is great. Price was great. I slept pretty darn good.

Cons:

Showers and toilets had a lot to be desired as far as water pressure and age. Same with toilet. Bath towels were very ruff.
