“For a quick trip where location trumps all, this place is a winner, especially if you're hopping off a ferry or train. The rooms are smartly designed to maximize space, and the modern, clean aesthetic is a definite plus. I found the high bed a bit quirky, but the comfort and effective air conditioning more than made up for it.”
