Convenient
We stay at this motel every time we leave out for a cruise. The main reason is because the parking is free for up to a week while on the cruise and they have shuttle service which is only $10 per person each way to and then from the cruise terminal. The breakfast isn’t the best but who cares when we can eat as soon as we get on the cruise ship.

It was convenient and inexpensive. The room was clean and had everything you needed. Breakfast well lets just say you better pack something not much to choose from. It was nice to be able to leave your vehicle while on a cruise.

Needs maintenance!
Check in was easy, we were able to park for free for our cruise, and parked up front. Cars were safe. The bed was hard. The small round window was busted out and was covered in cardboard. The hotel needs a LOT of maintenance and I don’t think they have any plans on doing it. I did save a lot a money on parking. It was close to port and easy for Uber/lyft to pick. They also offered a shuttle to port. Staff was nice. The picture is from the 2nd floor. Not safe for kids or adults really.

The hotel is in very bad condition, there is wood rot everywhere. Several of the safety rails are broken and held in place by plastic shopping bags. I will not stay there again. There is no elevator for 3 floors, very are for elderly people to climb 3 floors with luggage.

Free cruise parking
It is an older charming hotel, but no elevator. Rooms are large with refrigerator and microwave area that has it's own sink. Room smelled musty though. I would repaint with Kilz. Then paint over. Need to Charge less and they will sell more rooms. Free cruise parking is a plus.

From the outside, looks really poorly. Lobby and the room were much nicer. A/C was cold, clean and comfortable beds. Also can park there while on a cruise and they shuttle you to the pier.

The property seems a bit run down, but the staff and cleanliness were great! They offer port transportation for $10/person or $20 round trip. They also offer free parking for guests cruising.

Nice staff and great free deal on parking for a week during our cruise after our one day stay. Not the nicest facilities and we saw one roach but it works.

DO NOT STAY HERE! Reserved a 2bed room. Flew in late so worker called and left vm saying they were going to sell my room because I had not checked in (while on flight)!!! Informed them I was still coming but had a late flight. They called back again… Harassing me!!!! Get there and don’t have the correct room. Worker was drunk- could smell alcohol on him. He had no idea what he was doing! Gave me keys to 2 king bedrooms. Keys don’t work (this is 0330 in the morning). Call him and he doesn’t even know the hotel name when he answered. He finally gets one key to work so we said screw it and all 3 of us slept in the king bed while he worked on getting the key to work to other room…in bed by 0430! He never came back to check on us! Find out the next morning that they took off the round window and climbed through it to open the door! Be safe the windows come off with a screw driver! I should get all of my money back.
