Hotel staff were helpful & friendly. Nice facility.

The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. We had breakfast on both days in the hotel restaurant, which was excellent. We were taking a cruise from the port located across the street so the hotel was quite conveniently located. Our room was clean, comfortable and well appointed with amenities
