it's okay, i guess

convenient location ferry terminal noise traveling loud tourists

The location was close to the ferry terminal. That was convenient.

I was surprised by how much noise traveled. I could hear everything happening in the hallway. loud tourists made it difficult to sleep at times, not fun.

unmanned reception mediocre room

The location suited me, especially traveling from Helsinki by ferry and needing to drive on the next day. Cheap public parking was nearby at 6.5 euros per 24 hours.

The reception was often unmanned, I had to go to the spa area to register my arrival. Room appointments felt mediocre. I found the experience disappointing for the price. Perhaps the company should stick to shipping.
