How could this ro cost $300? It's because they ca and it's located near the cruise port. This means that can provide an inferior hotel product since most people only stay one night. I've stayed in some rough hotels but this one especially at the cost was bad. The room smelled like feet and the lighting was harsh. The alarm clock went off at 4a because no one had reset it. And someone rand the doorbell for the room at 2a. This is not an IHG quality property and should be offered at a much lower price point for the condition of the hotel.

Great hotel overall (8.3/10). Stayed 1 night in March. Very nice, well sized room, the type you wish you had more than one night in. Magnificent bed, comfortable is an understatement. Everything worked as it should. Very good staff. I would definitely stay again, as for the price paid ($63 total) it wasn't just great value, it was a bargain (booked through Agoda).

I stayed here for work and was disappointed by the shuttle from airport that was going to take an hour to checkout. The room was smelly, the area was not very walkable to anything, especially at night. But worse off, there was black mold in hallways and bathrooms. I stayed here 3 nights and I can certainly feel it.
