"Customer care, top notch - Facilities, ok"

7.0

Wonderful kitchenette and updated luxurious shower. Surprised to find at a motel.

Facilities are well lit. I found it difficult to sleep though because of it. Also heard a little doggo's scratchy nails walking in the unit above throughout the night

We liked the location to the ferry.

Bathroom floors were vacuumed but hadn't been mopped in a while.

"Was bedoeld als overnachting na vlucht vanuit Europa."

8.0

Wij kwamen 's avonds aan het ons werd voor een diner het restaurant van het naast gelegen hotel geadviseerd. Waar wij van een goede (betaalbare) maaltijd hebben genoten.

De gereserveerde borg op mijn creditcard van $ 150 werd pas na 3 weken vrijgegeven, en dit lag niet aan mijn bank.
