Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were on the top floor with no lifts, offering a unique view of the water but in need of renovation. The service was a bit inconsistent, with some staff being friendly while others were unprofessional. The location was convenient near the ferry terminal but quiet at night. Dining had its ups and downs, with room service being a letdown but a satisfactory breakfast the next day.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The room was spacious and comfortable, but it needed some maintenance. The service was friendly and helpful, yet there were some cleanliness issues. The location was great for exploring and very quiet at night, but it had a constant smell of kitchen odors. Dining was nice, but limited. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel was situated right next to the ferry terminal, making it convenient for exploring the surrounding areas. The rooms were recently refurbished and had all necessary amenities, although they felt grotty and damp. The service was impressive, showing efforts to maintain a welcoming atmosphere, but the dining experience had its shortcomings. The location was ideal for a peaceful stay, with easy access to transportation, while lacking healthier dining options.
