Solid Stay, Few Quirks

helpful staffnice shampooconvenient locationsecure parking
The staff were very helpful when I needed assistance. The provided shampoo and soap were a nice touch. I found the location convenient to the ferry terminal and shops. There was easy access to onsite parking and security.
I thought the traffic noise from my room facing the street was pretty distracting.

My studio had a functional kitchen area. The bathroom included handrails near the bath which I found useful. The room had a big window, but I did notice some wear on the carpet.

I could walk to the harbor area. I was also near some shopping options from this hotel. The proximity to bus stops made traveling around easy. I did not use taxis .
Dining

I found a few restaurants within a short walk. A cafe was near the entrance and it served coffee and light snacks. I ate one breakfast and it was okay. I did not try room service.

old showerloud air conditioning
the bathroom definitely showed its age the shower head sprayed water everywhere except where it should. the towels felt thin and worn it was like i was using sandpaper after a swim. i also noticed the air conditioning was quite loud it made sleeping a bit difficult even with earplugs. the noise seemed excessive for a modern unit and disrupted the otherwise quiet atmosphere of the room.
