"Everything went well. Good hotel, but there was work underway and the sound of a drill in the next room made it impossible to sleep. We complained and were moved to another room. The staff was attentive.2020-01-25"

"A low-quality hotel. Stay somewhere else.2020-11-02"
"Close to the port. The hotel was extremely old and dilapidated. Renovations were underway, but the temporary check-in area was in total disarray and surrounding rooms were filled with junk. We had to wait outside in the pool area, which was under construction. Decent room, but there was a dead bug in the bathtub. Find another place to stay.2015-09-30"
"I requested a riverside room and was given an ocean view room; when I pointed out the error, it was corrected, but it took extra time out of my stay.

"Convenient to the cruise terminal. Nice beach and beach access. A very basic hotel. The door handle on the sliding door to the balcony was broken. It took 4 calls and a trip to the front desk to get the cot we'd requested. Housekeeping didn't bring any blankets for the bed; we finally got some a few hours later, but no sheets were included. Great front desk service and nice pool, but meals were expensive. No extras included.2015-12-21"

"Close to attractions and state highways. The price was right. There was no one at the front desk when I arrived to check in, so I had to wait for someone to show up. The room was clean and comfortable, and so was the bed. The toilet seat was loose, and there were no grab bars in the shower. Other guests were screaming, slamming doors, and running in the hallway in the middle of the night.2020-11-17"

"Gorgeous ocean views. Take time to ride a bike to the marina. The service was outstanding. The hotel staff was attentive and went out of their way to be courteous and friendly.2019-11-01"
"The TV was disconnected; we had to call the front desk for assistance. We had to go to the main floor restaurant for ice. No on-site parking. Don't stay at this hotel.2021-03-18"
"We were disappointed with our hotel stay. The 1st room was hard to find since there was no room number posted for it. The fan was so noisy that we asked for a room change. The 2nd room had limited TV channels, no facial tissue, and no heat. The carpet and mattress felt old and worn. The front desk clerk seemed inexperienced; he provided incorrect shuttle information. I don't recommend staying here.2022-11-28"
"Not a great neighborhood. Nice, clean hotel, but it was a bit tired. Good service. The park and fly meant parking in a city garage across the street with minimal security. The airport shuttle stopped running at 10:30 PM.2021-06-25"

"We got a quiet room on the top floor away from the elevator, just as we'd requested. We had a peaceful night and a good breakfast in the morning. Be sure you know where to wait for the shuttle pick-up, though; we waited an hour and finally took a cab. We later found out we'd been waiting in the wrong area.2019-02-26"

Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
