We stayed one night at Days Inn before our cruise on Jan 21. The hotel is aged but clean. The breakfast is o.k. but crowded. We chose this hotel because of the shuttle bus services. But we ended up getting a taxi from the airport. After we collected our luggage at the airport, we tried to call the hotel. It took at least 10 minutes before we managed to speak with someone. The lady told us to go to the pickup point and said the shuttle would come within 30 mins. We waited 45 mins and the shuttle bus showed up but it was full. The driver told us that another shuttle bus would come in 15 mins. We waited another 25 mins before the next shuttle bus showed up but the driver said there was only 1 seat left (we have 4 people). We finally gave up and called a taxi (cost $25). We later heard that some guests waited 2 hours for the shuttle bus. As to the shuttle to the Port, it was much better organized as you need to get the tickets from the front desk in order to secure your time. We got the tickets for 1pm and the shuttle was on time. There was not much to do near to the hotel. In the morning, we took a taxi to the Hollywood Broadwalk (about 20 mins ride and cost $15 one way). The beach is beautiful and worth it.

Stayed 2 nights after returning from a Cruise. Free shuttle to airport and cruise port. Average continental breakfast. Older facility next to interstate but was quiet and clean. Would stay there again if in area.

We stayed one night before our cruise. Overall the hotel was in line of my expectations for DaysInn hotels, though the room rate goes up a lot around cruise days. The hotel provide seaport transportation only once an hour for 12 people: so by the time we arrived (~11pm), we have only option of 8am or 2pm departure: so you may call in advance to reserve your time. Taxi costs ~26$. As Carnival cruise allow 1 bottle of wine per person, we bought nice Beringer wines in a gas station across the hotel.

Stayed for 2 nights before departing on cruise. Typical Days Inn,becoming dated and in need of refurbishment. Lobby was very nice and staff were friendly but as usual for Days Inns the room smelled musty. The outdoor pool is not heated so be careful and test the water first as it was ice cold when we stayed. We used the airport shuttle on arrival and it was ok but chose to make our own way to the cruise terminal.
I would probably not stay here for any longer than a night or two but you get what you pay for so no real complaints apart from that ice rink they called a pool.
