We asked for an accessible room due to my wife needing knee replacement. They offered us a room on the 3rd floor, near the elevator. They neglected to tell us that the only elevator serving the 3rd floor was out of order. A member of the staff who ran into us just after we discovered the elevator issue, took us too our rooms and brought all of our luggage to the room. I didn't get his name but he was by far the most helpful member of the staff. When I went to the front desk to ask about the elevator, I was assured that the elevator would be repaired before the next morning. When I tried to return to my room, I found that the key card they had issued me did not work. The next morning, the elevator was still not in service and, fortunately, we ran into the same gentleman who had helped us the day before, who again took care of bringing all of our luggage down for us. I tried to tip him, but he refused to take any money. The front desk staff was useless, not offering any solutions, just meaningless apologies. The one person who did provide assistance was exceptional.

We enjoyed our stay. When we arrived and requested for a airport shuttle, the shuttle came in a reasonable time. Dining options are walking distance and some open really late(Chipotle). Breakfast while selections not much it fulfilled the necessary requirements to fill the stomach. The location is excellent if you came there for the cruise port.

Checking in with super slow after a long flight, got put in a room that had an awful odor, but luckily they were able to change our room then the AC wouldn’t go down below 66 and slept hot all night. The beds were super uncomfortable.

When I called lady month, I was told the shuttle was 24 hr and this is the reason i chose this hotel. It was not. I had to get an UBER. The front desk was nice about it and I know it wasn't their fault.

We only stay for one night before our cruise, but it was great. Very close to different types of shopping and food options including fast food. The front desk staff was very friendly and we were able to check in earlier because our room was really. The shuttle from the airport to the hotel was also convenient.
