QUICK STAYOVER
This place could be so much more. It seems a little run down. The continental breakfast is just sad. The pool is nice and so is the staff.

The place was little outdated but overall nice, the bed was little tough and hard but doable. It’s super convenient to the ports and reasonable price. Breakfast was just consist of cereal, bread, muffins and juice.

Déçue des prestations mais fait le taff.
Chambre passable, porte qui ferme mal propreté qui laisse à désirer. Piscine très sympa par contre. Petit dej avec le strict minimum. Domage, si j’avais su j’aurai pris ailleurs.
Literie agréable mais un simple dessus de lit en guise de drap.
Pour une nuit ça passe mais pas plus.

The staff was super friendly. The room was dated, but very clean. The location is convenient. It is close to many restaurants and stores such as Target, Kohls, Walmart, etc. It is also close to the cruise ports.

La propiedad esta bastante descuidada, las habitaciones tienen muebles bastante viejos incluso huele asi (como un closet de abuelita). Cerre todo y dormi con la luz encendida.
La persona del front desk muy amable y atenta pero no recomiendo este lugar para pasar la noche antes de su crucero.

Pessimo
Personale cordiale, ma per gli standard italiani non supera minimamente la sufficienza.
Camera non pulita, pavimento bagno sporco.
Colazione......lasciamo stare ..oltre al caffè non era presente niente .....
