It is a very basic motel, but clean rooms and friendly staff. More than enough to spend the night before our cruise. There are nice restaurants within a short walking distance. The area is very quiet and the bus stop is just a couple of blocks away.

The staff was particularly accommodating and able to give us good service in answering questions and giving us help based on their knowledge of the area and what our needs were. Our stay was pleasant and we were pleased with the accommodations. If needed, we would definitely consider staying at the Marco Polo again.
