7.0/10

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The staff was friendly and helped us find a suitable room after our initial accommodations didn't work due to stairs and accessibility issues. The room we ended up with was spacious and comfortable. However, the overall cleanliness and maintenance left a lot to be desired, which was quite disappointing for a long stay. The breakfast wasn't satisfying either, as the selection felt limited and could have been cleaner.

Rooms

7.0

The room we stayed in was spacious with three queen beds, but the hotel itself felt outdated and in need of maintenance.

Service

7.0

The staff was accommodating and understanding regarding our room change request, but the overall service experience felt uneven.

Location

9.0

The hotel is conveniently located right next to the ferry terminal, making it easy to explore the area.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was underwhelming with limited choices, and the cleanliness of the dining area could use improvement.
