Courteous staff although we were locked out and had to get another key

Should have just slept in the car.
Pros:

Nothing other than being close to the port

Cons:

Well buckle up, here it goes.. from the time we pulled into the property, and having to wait for all the vagrants to move out of the street to even get on the property, the first thing you experience when you walk into the lobby is the overwhelming odor of Marijuana, staff was friendly, but the location was dirty, ran down, and the room smelled of urine and the marijuana smell was overbearing in the hallways and lobby. The bed was hard as a brick, but the only positive is that we didn’t see any bed bugs.

I would go back if another cruise
Pros:

Beds more comfortable that at a RITZ CARLTON. OR A FOUR SEASONS. BEDDING FIRST CLASS. PILLOW WERE A 9 out of 10. Staff was fabulous. Both evening and next morning staff great. Breakfast was great also. I was pleasantly surprised. We were wrongly denied boarding on a cruise ! And very disappointed losing a large amount of money so the QUALITY INN helped our sadness from cruise TO CELEBRATE MY BIG BIRTHDAY. Mostly because staff was comforting after my story.

Cons:

I liked everything
