Location was perfect. Right in the heart of downtown and within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Plenty of towels in the room and the room staff were courteous and asked if I needed any daily essentials. The view from the room window was looking right at the cruise ship terminal and I saw a 2 ships arrive in the two days I stayed. The only thing that I did not like was the parking fee which was charged per day for parking my car. This is an obvious cash grab.

The hotel is relatively old and the equipment is average. The location is great, right by the pier. It's convenient to have everything to eat nearby. The restaurant on the first floor of the hotel is also okay. We didn't go out to eat because of heavy rain one day. We tried it and thought it was pretty good. There is a fee for parking. There is a good Japanese restaurant nearby that you can try.
