5.6/10

The hotel was quite disappointing overall due to the noisy rooms and lackluster facilities. On the positive side, the service was friendly and helpful, and the location was convenient for those planning to cruise. However, the noise from the street and elevator made it hard to rest, and the room change was frustrating.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms in the older building were very comfortable, but the smell of mold and constant noise made it hard to relax. However, the staff's service was top-notch and they swiftly moved me to a newly renovated area, which was a pleasant change. The location is great, especially with the promise of upcoming renovations. Unfortunately, the dining options were inconsistent in quality, but overall, the experience was positive.
