The hotel is conveniently located near the cruise terminals, which makes it ideal for travelers heading out on a cruise. The rooms are quite decent, especially with the stunning views of the dock and passing ships. However, the service during dining could use significant improvement as it was inconsistent, and the restaurant experience was not up to par. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money, especially with the comfortable accommodations and breakfast options provided.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the location near the cruise terminals was fantastic and the pool facilities were enjoyable. On the flip side, there were several mishaps that marred the experience, particularly with the service and dining options. While the room was clean and comfortable, the overall service left much to be desired, making me rethink if I'd choose this hotel again.
