Acceptable Stay with a Significant Drawback
unbeatable locationannoying light
The location was unbeatable, placing me right where I needed to be.
I found the green safety light annoying. It shone directly into the room, even with all the lights off. This made it difficult to sleep. There was no escaping the brightness.

The location was wonderful. It was close to the ferry and train. the room was very clean and modern. It had everything i needed for a short stay. the shower was especially nice. It provided a great way to refresh after a day of travel.
The room was smaller than i expected. It felt a bit cramped. the tv didn't work. I contacted the owner, but it wasn't resolved quickly. there was a green light from the air conditioning unit. It made the room glow at night.
