I found the staff consistently friendly and helpful. they gave great recommendations for local spots and helpful travel tips. they even arranged a sunset yacht tour for me. It was a real highlight! the room was super clean and very comfortable.
the fourth-floor view was partially blocked by the nearby train station. i could still see water, but the station's lights were distracting.
