cold air balcony door
The free shuttle service to the cruise was convenient.
My room felt uncomfortably cold despite using the heater. Cold air entered through the entrance door and balcony door. Extra blankets and towels under the doors only helped a little.

good selection hot choices airplane noise noisy air
The location is good. It is a short drive to many places I wanted to see. The hotel breakfast included a good selection of items. I enjoyed hot and cold choices.
My room was noisy. I could hear airplane noise clearly. The air conditioning unit made a lot of noise to. It was hard to sleep.
