This place is adorable! It was exactly what we needed for a place to stay one night before a cruise. It has a comfortable bed, a huge bathroom, a nice little sitting room and some really unique decorations that make you laugh, remember and/or think.

Pre-Cruise Stay

We needed a place to stay the night before a cruise and this was a great spot. It was very clean and close to the port. Even though it was a garage turned studio, it was comfortable and had everything we needed for our short stay. Check in and check out were quick and simple. A good alternative to the high price hotels in the area.
