Pre cruise stay

Did the job for a pre cruise night stay. No frills. Just a room and a parking space. Tv worked and the bathroom was adequate. The motel is dated but upgraded where it counts - the bed and flooring.

The staff were nice but there was hair on our sheets. We requested new sheets and changed them ourselves. The mattresses were very badly stained. The toilet valve was leaking on the floor. They offered to refund us and check out but it was 9pm and we had travelled all day. $81 was pricey for what was offered.

Not worth the price

This hotel was extremely overpriced. We chose this hotel to be near the port terminal for our cruise and honestly, we expected more for a Wyndham hotel. The hotel is completely outdated and in serious need of an upgrade. The “decorative” pillows on the beds were stained as were the towels. Thankfully, we were only there for one night.
