short walk efficient staff shopping center high temperature stuffy room slightly open windows
The location proved perfect. It was a short walk to the restaurant and large shopping center. The front desk staff were very helpful and efficient.
The room was very warm, even though it was autumn. The windows only opened slightly, so I couldn't cool the room down. It was a really uncomfortable night.

Convenient Stay Near the Port

ideal location helpful staff quiet room on-site parking
I found the location ideal for accessing the port area. The staff were helpful arranging transportation early in the morning. The room was quiet and I did not experience disruptions from outside noise. I also appreciated the availability of on-site parking, though it is subject to a fee.
The shower in my room had fluctuating water temperatures, a bit inconvenient.
