Great place to stay before we boarded our cruise in the morning. Appreciate accommodation for smaller kids such as kid plates, cups and toys. Beds were comfy and washer and dryer was great. Yes there is a tenant below but they were kind when we saw them briefly and didn’t bother us at all.

Great Stay

Really nice accommodation for the seven of us. We stayed prior to our cruise and it was an awesome place. The only thing I would recommend is larger soft blankets, although being in Texas you don’t usually need blankets!
