Hotel is well located between city and air/cruise terminals. Was surprised it was a pet friendly hotel, spotting the odd cute dog around. Our 3 rooms were spotless and well equipped.

Clean and comfortable room. Staff were lovely. Location was excellent! A really nice hotel. Only reason I’ve given 4 stars is that there is construction going on that is very loud, wasn’t advised prior to booking. Staff came to give ear plugs but we could barely hear each other talking.
