great locationquality foodhot roomblocked drain
The location impressed me! It was very close to the ferry for day trips. Trams were also just around the corner, near a convenient grocery store. I enjoyed the large selection and high-quality food offered at breakfast. It gave a beautiful start to the day.
The cooling did not work, it made the room too hot and stuffy. There was a blockage in the drain,. Staff did fix it on the same day though.
