We only stayed one night, but when we got into the room it was a self contained room which had just been upgraded. There was a lot of the hotel being upgraded, it’s going to be nice when it is finished as it is central to most things which in our case was the cruise terminal, cross the road , over the footbridge then a 60m. Walk to the terminal…tops
