Nice room, close to airport
The location is close to the airport and they have a shuttle. There are some restaurants and stores within walking distance. There was a vast array of items for breakfast. The room was clean, no complaints there. The shuttle to the cruise port was convenient.

The check-in was quick and easy. I arrived well before a check in time, but they were able to accommodate me and get me a room right away. I really appreciated that as I’ve been travelling for a long time. They were helpful in finding me dining options.
