The hotel was very clean and staff very helpful. They held our bags when we arrived at 6 am, and we went on a safari until it was time for check in. I also did laundry and the staff helped me with the washer. Room was clean and comfortable. Had a fridge and nice hot shower. Very convenient to the ferry and tons of shopping.
