convenient location modern room rainfall shower
The location was very convenient for the ferry terminal. It made my early start much easier. The room was very clean and modern. It had everything I needed. The shower was great. I appreciated the rainfall shower head.
The green nightlight in the room was quite bright. It made it hard to fall asleep. I wish I could have turned it off.

convenient stay close to transportation

convenient location quick assistance seafood restaurant
the location proved very convenient. the ferry terminal was a short walk away and a seafood restaurant sat above the hotel. the town centre was also easily accessible. i received quick assistance from the service desk when my electronic key malfunctioned and i got into my room quickly.
the lack of visible signage made the hotel difficult to spot from the street.
