adequate stay with some drawbacks

circular stairs hot room
the room was quite hot and i could not get anyone to assist at night (staff shortage, maybe?). circular stairs were also a drag after a long day.

Really good Service and Convenient Location

spacious room convenient location easy check-in
The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The location allowed easy access to the town center and ferry terminal. Check-in was easy and efficient. The whiskey selection in the bar downstairs added a unique touch to the hotel.
My room was located on the top floor with sloping ceilings, which restricted movement in certain areas.

Staff members carried my luggage up the stairs. This was very helpful. A breakfast bag with continental items was provided outside the room each morning. Recommendations for local restaurants were provided, and they proved to be excellent.
