An okay hotel

Little tricky to use the Google map to get the location. It is right next to a 24-hour McDonald which is nice since I checked in pretty late, i was able to get dinner. At check-in, no information was provided about breakfast. The elevator was broken and we had to carry our luggage upstairs. I saw a person with disabilities struggling to climb the stairs.

Good hotel but out of the way

Comfortable,clean room. Helpful efficient staff. Excellent breakfast.Surprisingly quiet in view of the hotel’s position (and the time of year-Carnival). Our only complaint would be re position. This hotel is a little out of the way.
