The staff was very friendly and helpful. They organised a cab for my early morning ferry! my room was amazing, spacious with a good bed and a very nice bathroom. i definitely appreciated the superb service.
the room was near a bar! the noise from the customers and doors being slammed until late was a problem, since i had to be up early for the ferry.
