If you are not able to climb stairs do not book this hotel. To get to any of the rooms you have to go up stairs. Our hotel room was more like a small apartment. It was on the second floor. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Our room was not updated like the picture.

6/10 Good

We were upgraded to the 3 BD cottage next door to the hotel. The extra amenities and space were appreciated. however, the king size bed in the master had broken support slats. The 3 smoke detectors had been removed from the ceilings and were non functional. The towels were worn and threadbare is some areas. The master bedroom was located above a small garage. Late at night, four people with access opened the power garage door and loaded carpet and furniture from a van and woke us up: not appreciated. The cottage was clean, but maintenance was an issue.

Obviously this is not a resort where you sit around by the pool but if you are arriving late off the ferry nothing beats this no nonsense hotel. Super clean and beds super comfortable. Small rooms but for the money it can not be beat. I have now made this my go to rest spot when I take the late ferry to the island and not wanting to drive into the night
