"We had a nice one night stay before our cruise. If you are cruising it is located a little further off the center but still manageable and walkable depending on what cruise ship you are on) Hotel was clean, welcoming and had lots of extras I usually do not see at a hotel. Like a kitchenette, dishwasher and washing machine(which we did not use but an added bonus for travellers). They gave us a room with the view of the park… was nice."
