Weekend getaway

The location is great, but the hotel is a little out dated for me. The room was clean, but there was a spider in the shower.

Great for the price

Checking was at 3 and I arrived earlier than expected. They allowed an early check in with no issues. Room was very clean and beds were comfy. The price is what sold me. During cruise week everything triples in price and they were still affordable. Will definitely book again in the future.
