10/10 Excellent
"We stayed 1 night before our cruise. The hotel was quiet & very clean. The breakfast was excellent - great variety. Being American, I needed help with the coffee machine since it was different from what I was used to. A server was very friendly and quick to help. Our 2 teenage grandsons (picky eaters), were able to find enjoyable foods and were filled up! Love the beans at breakfast! Florida Family"
