Booked thru Expedia. Flights was delayed, missed the free shuttle- called hotel twice to try to make arrangements for when we were actually landing— front desk was kind but not accommodating. When on phone they asked if I needed ADA room, I did not and relayed that. Second time I called to update eta, same question. When we finally arrived after a $45 Uber fee from FLL- we were assigned an ADA room and warned about water flooding the room if we weren’t careful. I requested a non ADA and explained two prior times I requested a non ADA. Request was eventually granted, our room was 301. Not the cleanest, hair in shower, stuff in carpet, not enough towels for two much less four guests, very damp and smelled like mildew. Too long of a travel day to even deal at that point. The staff at the buffet worked so hard and it was super clean, food was okay. Went to discuss the issues with the front desk but the line was too long and we were on time crunch to get to cruise port. No one directing traffic at parking lot, drop offs and pick ups had bottle neck and caused us to be picked up next to the highway in the rain for our Uber to port. They offer $15 cruise drop off, we paid $18 for 4 ppl thru Uber. Poor management all around. For the cost of the room, not impressed and will not be back.

One night before the cruise.
Stayed here for one night before jumping on a cruise ship. Location is great for the ships. A couple of malls nearby for last minute shops in case you forget anything. Front desk very nice and helpful.

We enjoyed the convenient location to food, shops, pharmacy etc. while preparing to board our cruise the next day. Breakfast buffet was nice. There is a shuttle going to the cruise port. It is pricey, an Uber or Lyft is probably cheaper
