Front desk attendant was pleasant. The only real issue was during breakfast. They had no milk for cereal, they also had no creamer for coffee and no cinnamon

Stayed here the night before my cruise and everything was perfect. Rooms and common areas were clean, staff was very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was perfect. Bonus, it was only 5 minutes from the port.

The hotel was very nice, along with the rooms. Everything was extremely clean. It's a great place if you're going on a cruise, as it's just a few miles from the Port and parking. If you plan on eating, you will need to get something before arriving because the only restaurant around is Wendy's, which is next door, but they have terrible reviews, and we returned our food. It's easy access to I-95. The only downside was at around 1:15 a.m. the person working the desk walked into our room, stating, "that she was sorry, but she didn't show anyone as checked in." The door was locked, so she had to override the lock. I'm still waiting on a call from the manager because being walked in on is unacceptable. The hotel itself and the rest of the staff were all very nice. I would definitely recommend and stay again.Rooms: Very clean and spacious.Nearby activities: There's a Zoo and Gardens about 6 miles away. Otherwise, there's nothing else to do.Safety: It was well lit and appeared to be safe. I don't stay somewhere if I don't feel safe.Walkability: There's nothing within walking distance except for Wendy's next door.Food & drinks: They have snacks and drinks in the lobby for a charge, but it's better than having to drive miles to get something if you don't plan on eating out.

Stayed for a Carnival Cruise. Location and service was outstanding. Got to give a shout out to the morning cook. Mrs Eileen. 11-13-23.I'm on a special diet and she went over and beyond to make sure I could eat. Corporate needs to know what an exceptional employee you have. Thank you for the pleasant experience.

I stay here for work due to the long hours required and get in around 9-11pm, and I am gone by 5-5:30am. My room is quiet and comfortable, and the lady working the breakfast area made sure I had hot coffee and a banana to go. I couldn't speak for any of the amenities. I do stay here every year and have not been disappointed in the last 10 years.Rooms: Quiet, comfortable and cold, just like I wanted it.

The young girl at the service desk was awesome, very friendly, and helpful. Rooms are a little outdated but clean. The pool was closed, which was upsetting.

Overall good hotel. Still feels kind of new. Great location to cruise ship port and easy access to highway to get anywhere in a reasonable time. The staff didn’t have uniforms. I don’t recall seeing a name tag. So a couple of times I didn’t know who was working the front desk because they were standing in the lobby looking like a customer. I rooms were clean but the air wasn’t on when we entered to felt stuffy. The breakfast was ok but 30 minutes before it was supposed to end everything was out/low and didn’t see anyone trying to restock. So went to next door to Wendy’s. At breakfast they had the usual: biscuits & gravy, eggs, cinnamon rolls, cereal, oatmeal, muffins, yogurt. They had a business center area for those who need to print cruise boarding pass and attach it. I would stay here again.

I just stayed here last week one night before my carnival Cruise. Absolutely perfect place to stay if you're booked on a cruise.

This location is perfect for those who are cruise ship bound. Our room clean very accommodating although our 1st floor room window curtains would not close. The front desk clerk was very short when responding to questions which gave us the impression we were bothering her.

Stayed here on a business trip. Very nice hotel, room are quiet could not hear my neighbours at all. Bed was a medium firm, and bathroom was well stocked. Mini fridge and microwave hidden. With a desk and chaise lounge for comfort.
