The tv didn’t work which wasn’t a huge deal because I only spent 9 hours there before our cruise. The door stuck really bad so it was very loud and hard to open and close. But not a bad place to stay before a cruise

Room was very old and dirty. I would not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. The continental breakfast consisted of apples some cereal and coffee, dining room tables were dirty as well. When I told all of the above to the desk clerk she just said I’m sorry she made no offer to make anything better. We will be canceling the other night stay. Don’t walk but run away from this hotel!

First the staff (2) that we had interaction with were fine, but the rooms were bad...Smoke alarm falling off the wall towel racks in both room coming of the walls, PAINT how hard is to clean up and paint the trim and walls. Then how about the exterior, pick up the trash and palm fronds laying around EVERYWHERE. The post in the ground holding the solar lights numerous ones broken or knocked over and laying on the ground. tennis/pickle ball courts with palm fronds all over. how about the picture post on the web site is from 20 years ago when the place was new. A big misrepresentation of what you get. Just some basic clean up would help this place alot.

Staff was good. Room was neat and soft beds. Absolutely old school. We got clean towels when we needed them, as well as toiletries. We were left to ourselves. The stay was quiet and pleasant. The only thing was the door had to be slammed to shut. It was very loud.

Friendly staff. The property is dated. Could use some upgrades. The bed was clean/comfortable. The shower head in our bathroom needs to be replaced. Didn’t look sanitary so we avoided using it. Other than that, not a deal breaker but I wouldn’t stay more than a night.

this place if Fabricated , it's nothing like their pictures. We got to the room, a man's shorts were soak and wet as if he was in pool and ran in to change . the room door was unable to close. The linen on the bed were all dingy and towels , washcloths as if someone slept in it and just pulled the covers back., Place look deserted. I told the reception they lied about what they looked like they only take picture of the pool and chairs alongside them to make this dump look like it's worth it. I recommend not staying here with your children NOT SAFE.

Old motel - paint peeling off of the walls, stain on white comforter on bed, calcification around the tap in the bathtub… if you need, NEED a one-night stay before a cruise, you could stay here, but if there are other options with similar price points around, I’d likely not stay here.

It could use a remodel. The bathroom especially. Towels were dingy. As for amenities a 1/2 inch bar of soap doesn't do much. Had to do a Walmart run for towels and soap. Breakfast was nothing, small muffins, one type of coffee, very disappointing. Well it was just a place to sleep. Other than the above the front desk staff was great.

Worst experience ever! There were SO many bugs (ants/spiders) crawling around everywhere! On the bathroom floors and on the desk/table, the dresser… ants were crawling all over our bags.. I have videos and photos of everything. We booked for three nights… We left after our first night… I didn’t even go to the front desk to complain because there would be no point in doing so… SAVE YOURSELF THE TROUBLE AND DO NOT BOOK HERE, EVEN IF THE PRICE/PICTURES SEEM RIGHT… Even for $450 for 3nights, I expected SO MUCH MORE.

The staff were friendly. The room was clean. The hotel needs to have some upgrades, (some bricks loose by the pool, paint peeling around hotel. The price was good, and it was close to the port. It also was close to restaurants. They offer free breakfast, but pickings were slim. (coffee, toast, cereal, and small muffins). But for the price, we were happy. I think if they put some money into the appearance, it would be a very nice hotel.

Staff was friendly. Room was gross, outdated, the door wouldn’t even close because the frame and door weren’t aligned. We had to slam into it to make the door shut. We slept on top of the bed because the room just seemed really dirty. The chair had stains all over it.. we won’t stay again.
