Great choice pre-cruise
Nice older hotel with a lovely updated lobby and restaurant/bar. The restaurant is open all day with a full service menu and after midnight with limited food choices. The room was very nice and spacious. Great location for a pre-cruise stay and offers a free shuttle to the port. The Uber from the airport was $25 and took about 20 minutes. Overall a great location and experience.
