I loved the cleanliness and service of the hotel. The staff were so very friendly and helpful! I was pleasantly surprised and pleased to find a safe in my room, so many times I go to hotels prior to a cruise and there is no way to secure the cash I have for the cruise other than to carry it on me. So, KUDOS to whoever thought of including safes in your rooms! The morning buffet was very well laid out, and contained a wide variety of foods. And the food was GOOD! What I didn't like was the lack of outside dining options for dinner.

Didn’t feel safe at this location. Homeless people at intersections. Police sitting their car at the convenience store next door. Portable security cameras with blue blinking lights at the gas station around the corner. The property has trucks parked on the side street entrance. People were standing around in the parking lot. Just a little uncomfortable in that location.
