I was really pleased with the convenient location near the ferry port. the staff were wonderfully cute, polite, and always ready to help. i especially enjoyed the food. Everything tasted great under one roof. it felt so easy and relaxed
The room was very small, the bathroom felt smaller than a postage stamp! it really needed a refresh. It felt a little dated.
