Excellent research stay

helpful staff spacious shower excellent wifi acceptable food
The reception staff upgraded my room to a single bedroom it suited my needs better. The room included a writing desk and a spacious shower. The wifi worked excellently and that was essential for my purposes. The restaurant staff was accommodating and the food was acceptable.
I do wish the coffee machine included instructions I figured it out after a couple of attempts.

amazing stay near the ferry!

quick drive clean room
the location was awesome for catching the ferry! it was just a quick drive to the port, super convenient for my early departure. the room was clean and i found it really comfortable. i was happy!
I wish there was more sugar and milk provided in the room. This would have been helpful for my tea and coffee. it was kind of annoying!
