"Inexpensive, basic, safe hotel. Very good for an inexpensive, basic, clean hotel in a great location for strolling, and close proximity to cruise ships docks. When we arrived the one receptionist had 40 check-ins. Terrible. Website posted hours and menu for restaurant, which is not open for lunch or dinner. Receptionist confirmed but did not even know where to find this on their website. Restaurant Cafe Mimosa is open for breakfast but service was so slow we left and found a nearby cafe. "
