Not recommended

Not recommended. Spent the night here before our cruise and was very disappointed. Dead bugs in the bed, old food under the sheets and very outdated. Shower was very scummy and needed a good scrub.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a bad experience, plain and simple. The bathroom had two decent size holes in the wall, the hot water faucet was held to the wall with electrical tape, they asked me at the desk if I wanted a refrigerator (huh?), I ofcourse said yes, and then proceeded to be given a room with no refrigerator. The place was not worth the money I paid. Had to be there for a funeral, and this experience at this hotel did not make me feel comfortable at all.
