Your ad stated free cruise parking, that is not the case. Currently it’s $5.75 per day going up to $10 in January. You need to correct your ad.

The front staff were great! The room was fine, the bathroom needs some attention but the water had good pressure and was hot. The breakfast though minimal it served its purpose. We would stay there again. Also, we were able to keep our car there while we cruised.

Both rooms TV’s had to be reset by staff, so technically the rooms weren’t ready upon my arrival at 4:30 PM. Positive note: rooms were clean and organized with pleasant smell. Staff friendly and informative. Price reasonable compared to other hotels in the area.

The room we received looked nothing like the pictures. The carpet was a dirty green and had white stains all over it. There was blood on the toilet paper roll. The bathtub was dirty, peeling and barely drained. A train went by with its horn at both 4am and 6am We booked this hotel as there were good reviews for staying for a cruise. They also took a paper copy of our card and ID due to systems being down. I have a lock on my card. If we wouldn’t have gotten there at 1am due to a delayed flight I would have 100% changed hotels and will never stay here again .

We atay at this property before every cruise, 4 this year. The staff is always happy to see us and very courteous. The property is just 5-10 minutes from terminal, depending on traffic. They also provide parking during cruise but nnot transport to terminal. We will continue to stay there before our cm future cruises

Everything was as expected, it’s an older property but fairly well maintained. It’s a really good deal for a place to crash for a night.
