Great pre cruise stay.
The staff was great, Dee was amazing, I feel like I made a friend. They also have a cruise shuttle that was very convenient. Local restaurants within a very short walking distance.

Thank you Dee and Reggie!
It was clean and close enough but I didn’t care for the man with earrings who worked there that night. Rave reviews of hospitality but I felt like I was bothering him to ask about the shuttle and crappy plumbing. The shuttle service is heavily advertised as a selling point of staying here so I wanted to know how that would work the next day he was like the terminal is just right there and pointed backwards. Ok. I checked in he asked for my debit card I told him I paid in full (my receipt didn’t mention a hold nor does the blurb on here but fine) but he was snarky like “yes we still need your card like any hotel” geez sue me I’m single, I’ve never cruised and I’ve been in traffic all day. I tried to just avoid him and prayed someone new was working when I departed. That person thank God was Ms. Dee sooo sweet and was asking me why I was trying to walk 7 BLOCKS when the shuttle could get me?! Geez I didn’t know smh. She immediately called Reggie (nice man) and in 10mins I was on my way. Traveling can be so awkward and it was my first cruise I was nervous and I felt the first guy just didn’t feel I was worth much thought. Dee and I are both black women so she understood I’m just trying to get where I need to go w as little hassle as possible. She’s a treat yall treat her well I would only stay again on her watch.

We stayed here the night before our cruise and I’m happy we did! This is a very cool place and because it’s right on the water, we could see the ship come in that morning! I loved walking around the area with the little time we had. I would stay there again.
