Okay hotel for quick stay.

Room was nice and cold, staff are nice but the breakfast was not as good as years past. No hot breakfast and for the price similar to hotels that do, they really should. Nice part is being able to have my dogs there. The fee is steep guess it is what it is. Putput needs to be cleaned up, branches and stuff all over, so balls didn’t travel right. Just upkeep needs work.

So I had accidentally made the booking right around midnight on Expedia and it immediately moved it to the next night and the lady at the front desk was kind enough to let me stay there that night instead and then because I had already used the Expedia reservation I guess it charged me, but it had charged me twice and every time that I tried to talk to somebody about this, they refused to believe me.

Location is older, but was good. Near Schlitterbaum and Moody Gardens. They are doing renovations. Breakfast was yogurt, cereal, pastries, coffee, juice. No fruit or protein items. Was ok for us. Room was clean. Leaving car during the cruise was the big plus for a nominal charge per week. Even after Uber to port, there is a savings. Would stay again.
