Airport shuttle was great. Not sure why they have to charge $15 each to get to the cruise terminal and charge $200 more on a Saturday night. We would have stayed here again but for the up pricing on a Saturday I chose not to, too bad cuz the bed was comfortable.

The staff was phenomenal. The location was phenomenal. The room was nice, not phenomenal. No make-up mirror and the lighting in the bathroom was the worst I’ve ever encountered. This is a Holiday Inn Express that is priced like a much nicer hotel.

The room was clean, the beds were fine, breakfast was ok. The bathroom had wear and tear and needed some touchup paint in several places. The location was great - several places to eat and pick up anything you may have forgotten m nearby. It served our purpose of a place to sleep between our flight arrival and cruise boarding! I’d probably stay again.
