Amazing visit!

free shuttle helpful staff multiple choices

I liked hotel services. It offered a free shuttle to the cruise port. The staff helped with our luggage before and after the cruise. Breakfast included multiple choices. The room was very clean and it was comfortable.

The blanket seemed like a mattress cover. It was wrapped in sheets. It felt very cheap. It was also cold.
