The Port-O-Call Inn & Suites

The Port-O-Call Inn & Suites

4/10 Poor
"There were available parking stalls. The room was not very clean. They must have just painted it during the day as it was full of paint fumes. There were no side tables for either bed. The bedding was questionable one top sheet looked like it was actually a tablecloth. Only 3 light bulbs worked and the bathroom door didnt close."
