Traveled with family and small children. Do not forget & make sure to add your children as well, or else you will be charged additionally when checking in. There’s a crazy $60 daily parking fee for the garage. I did not like the fact the staff who checked us in asked for my children’s name, supposedly it was for the “breakfast” list. I felt uncomfortable about it and did not feel safe giving my minors names, as it does not seem necessary. But, I will have to say, they did have the best breakfast by far.

Best hotel breakfast...but the line was super long and crowded. First floor room had street sounds all night and they put us in a handicap room that we didn't need and the shower didn't work properly. The food is good and the bellman Abdur was an excellent person. He helped us make a really smooth exit and arranged beautiful transportation to cruise terminal pier 27
