You will pay to be so close to the port without much to show for it.
Pros:

The location is good, very close to the port. The lobby looks good.

Cons:

For nearly $300 to rest for a few hours before a late flight, I think they should have accommodated an early check in. I let them know we wouldn't be staying overnight, and would leave by 7pm. I shouldn't have to pay extra for that.
The room itself was clean but small, only the bed and a small desk and one chair, it was sparse. When I tried to take a shower, the pump top came right off the soap. No robes, no slippers. The coffee area had ONE tea bag so only one of us could have tea. Just pretty lame all around.

街中の便利なシティホテル
Pros:

裸の若い衆が食事する姿が見える山側ではなく、街路樹の緑とフェリー乗り場も見える海側だった。
お部屋のカバーリングも私好みだった。

Cons:

2度目なのでグレードアップしているかと期待していたら、クルーズ前に泊まった部屋の方が広くて浴室に折り畳み椅子があった。
水を2本飲んだら2日目の補充は無かった。電話したら1泊でも2泊でも2本と言われた。

Lovely, accommodating staff and room with a desk was great. Free WIFI.
Pros:

I was told my stay didn't include breakfast so I have no opinion. I was shocked that at least a continental breakfast was included for the price of the room. The mini fridge in the room was great. Ice being available was great but I would recommend telling people it was on the first floor. I loved having a washing machine and dryer for my use. It was on the same floor as my room so that was great.

Cons:

Having breakfast included. Having more packs of the 3 in one coffee in the room or replacing them daily. I had to go out and buy them.
