Acceptable, but some Disappointments

crows problem overwhelmed staff
The location was quite convenient to the ferry terminal.
The breakfast service disappointed me. Staff seemed overwhelmed. Crows were a constant nuisance, swooping down to snatch food. Staff made no effort to manage it. This made eating on the rooftop unsettling.
