Nice property with interesting history but not outstanding- furnishings were dated. And with 4:00pm check-in, not much time to take advantage of amenities. Unfortunately we could hear the elevator going up & down all night. At the price we paid, we were disappointed- will not stay there again.

This place is only useful for its location and the fact that most groups and ships collect passengers from here for tours. My son got sick after eating breakfast here within 4 hours. The rooms are old and terrible and way over priced. They don’t care because they probably have contracts with cruise ships that collect passengers from here. It is close to everything that’s the only reason. Our shower wouldn’t drain after one shower and we got placed next to the elevators which really sucked.

The property is way overrated. Toilet flushing like a big bomb going off - so loud. WiFi didn’t work. Staff is not very friendly. However, the hotel charges an outrageous price. Won’t go back again.

Disappointed
Sadly for the price of this hotel it did not live up to luxury. The beds were full size, the room was from the 1960s. The bathroom had no air flow and was iffy if the toilet was going to flush. When we called for a late checkout we were told call in the morning to see?! Not worth the $.
