This is the only hotel in the area with easy cruise port access. The only restaurant nearby is a Wendy’s. The hotel offers a transfer to the cruise port for $20. If you are flying specifically for a cruise stay prior to getting on ship this is the best place to stay. However if you are looking at this hotel for a week of vacation it would not be ideal.

Our room was clean but there was several bags of garbage out by the door to the pool. It was held open with a rock because the lock was broke.
