"A little weird with no reception, only electronic. But it all worked fine. There's a machine with snacks and beverages, a ping pong table, self serve laundromat with ironing board. And there is an actual human being on-site in a small office. Had no need to interact but was nice to know if you were to have some problem that there is a human being to help. Not sure if there is someone there around the clock or not. Anyway, enjoyed our stay. It's two blocks from the ferry terminal."
