Wonderful for those going on a cruise

Our only complaint was a mix-up at the reservation desk -- had to wait for non-smoking rooms to become available (we had requested non-smoking); had to settle for queen rather than king size beds (it was OK) The staff was quite helpful with suggestions on points of interest and restaurants. We also appreciated the van service provided by the hotel.

An Excellent Stay

We stayed 2 nights, mostly we did site seeing and shopping. The staff was just great and helped us with just about everything.A few more quality restuarants in the area would`ve been nice. We ordered room service one night and honestly it was great, but expensive. We used the fitness room, both days and enjoyed it, a bit small. One of the nicer things about our stay was the late check out time of 12 noon.
