Yes the room was pretty clean overall. It could have been vacuumed better. The hotel charged us over $700 for the room. The Expedia price was about $690.00 so it didn’t match up. We didn’t care for that type of surprise with paying a higher price than we were quoted on the Expedia site. It’s the first time this ever happened to us. Hope it’s the last. We may book directly with the hotel in the future.

Our stay was great. The staff was very kind and helpful. Our first room ended up having a broken thermostat and staff immediately got us in to a new room. Plenty of parking. Very clean hotels. My only issue with our stay was the food quality and dining space. The food seemed like it had been sitting for a bit when we got to it at 7:00am and seating in the dining space is very limited. Overall we had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay again.

Wet affordable option, just 15 minutes to old port. Staff was great, limited seating for breakfast. Lots of tour groups stay here so it was always packed and slim pickings when we stayed.
