My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were old and outdated, needing some upgrading. Despite having to pay extra and rearrange room types, the ambiance was warm and inviting. The service was genuinely nice and helpful, even going out of their way to assist me. The location, although needing some sprucing up, was convenient, especially for accessing cruise ships. The dining options were limited and not very appealing. However, the overall experience was decent considering the price.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were not as impressive as I expected for the price, with a burn hole in the comforter and a less-than-pleasant view outside. On the other hand, the room had useful amenities like a spacious fridge and microwave. The service, despite some hiccups like being asked to fetch my own blanket, was overall friendly and accommodating. The location was average, not too far but not particularly charming either. As for the dining, it was a simple and acceptable experience.
