8/10 Good
"One staff in restaurant / bar very efficient & helpful - responsive - got us an ice bucket for our insulin since there wasn’t a refrigerator. Other staff person was rude. When we ordered food, it came from another part of building with no covers and therefore cool when arrived."

"Front staff were great. Gave us a local. Lots of shopping etc near by. We were waiting to find out about getting an Uber to the cruise port and valet workers told us that Uber us hard to get. Suggested using their taxi service which was quicker (5 cruise ships docked) and actually cheaper. Would definitely stay there again"
