We booked a dayroom and it was the best decision. We spent 5 hours there and 2 of those hours was in the pool. The pool and room were very clean. Staff were very friendly and plenty of package food in the lobby. Only down side is not too many restaurant option in walking distance. There’s a taco shop across the street but it’s closed on Sunday and Mondays. Other then that hotel was great and we’ll definitely be staying here again.

This hotel offers a $15 shuttle to the cruise port. If you're here the night before a cruise, this hotel is comfortable and has hot breakfast.

This hotel is close to the cruise port. There is a free shuttle from the airport, but the shuttle to the cruise port is $15 per person. The price I paid for a stay of less than 24 hours was ridiculous...but it was convenient.

A good place to spend the night if you are waiting for a cruise. Lots of fast food restaurants to walk to and grocery stores. Breakfast was great. Would not recommend for a long term stay in the area- not enough to walk to for entertainment.
