The room was acceptably clean. Bed too soft with no support. Location is quite good. The young lady who attended to me was very new. When i ask her some questions abt the car park charges etc, she could not answer. Another senior lady was too busy to attend to my questions. Service was not good in this aspect. Simple questions take too much time to revert.. Do note there isn't any wifi in the room, only common areas.

The worst service don’t think they know the meaning of customer service. Terrible hospitality wouldn’t ever stay again so many better places with kind hosts.
Really unprofessional

兩張床,一大一小,設施很全,衞生間也很大,就是這麼大的空間為什麼洗手池那麼小呢?旁邊一個大停車場,由於週六沒有收費。

フェリー乗り場からも鉄道駅からも近く、街にも歩いて行ける範囲なのでとても便利でした。
洗面台が狭すぎて顔も洗えないのは唯一の難点ですが、部屋は清潔でぐっすり眠れました。
部屋に紅茶もコーヒーもミルクも置いてあったので、色々飲めて良かったです。

酒店離火車站,碼頭,長途汽車站衹有百米距離。離最有名海鮮廳也有百米,非常方便。酒店很安靜。面朝大海,可以看到碼頭和夕陽西下,很美

The family room set up was helpful with the twin beds in separate areas. Kids got a good nights sleep. The room was clean though worn and musty -one in our group has a dust allergy and woke sneezing and sniffling profusely. Proximity to the ferry terminal made the room quite noisy.

The bar check in was easy and convenient! The property was clean and walkable to anything in town. It is right next to the train and the ferry station. The highlight was the staff! They were so kind and fun and made my time enjoyable! I would go back

Modest, austere, immaculate hotel right near everything. Nice quiet, private pub downstairs. All transit - ferry terminal, train and buses - a literal stones throw away. Staff were professional and courteous. Also right near restos and shopping. Nothing fancy - just the level of uncomplicated and no-noise making for a restful restorative overnight.
