Pros (+) It has very easy access to the ferry and the train stations. The bed was comfortable and there was a well equipped kitchen. If you want ground coffee bring your own. Otherwise tea and dry coffee are available in the room. There is also a washer and dryer, noisy but they work.
Cons (-) It was a little strange to check in after hours. A call and a short wait for the manager to let us in but all was well.
