Great location
Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was large, modern and well maintained. We had a problem with the desk staffing as we were trying to check out early in the morning to catch the ferry. There’s a dearth of restaurants and bars in that area, so it’s unfortunate that the lounge isn’t more inviting.
