charmed stay

spacious room well-equipped kitchen convenient location
i found the room spacious and comfortable. the kitchen was well-equipped.. i used it to prepare small meals. the location near the ferry terminal proved convenient for my travel plans.
i did notice some street noise during the night. it was more noticeable since my room faced the main road. light sleepers should consider requesting a room away from the street.

inadequate soundproofing uncomfortable mattress
i found the soundproofing inadequate i could clearly hear conversations and noise from adjacent rooms this lack of privacy was disruptive especially during early mornings the bed although of decent size lacked proper support resulting in a less than restful sleep i expected better sound insulation and a more comfortable mattress given the price point.
