We picked this hotel because it was close to our cruise ship. We just needed a place to lay our head. It was a convient location with lots of good options for food around the area. The room was just a place to sleep and it fullfilled that mission.

Run down. Paint chipping all over room. Shower was dirty and rusty. Didnt use it. Hair all over the walls in the bathroom. There has been no updating on this property in decades. Pool was dirty. Free breakfast was toast and yogurt. Would never stay there again. Felt itchy the entire one night stay. Slept in our clothes. The entire area is not family friendly. Pictures are deceiving.
