No charge for parking was a plus. Would've benefited from having bottles of water to make tea in the room. Cups were a decent size. Staff were amenable. Beds were comfortable. Appreciate that extra pillows were available in the room.

Definitely in need of some TLC. Could hardly see through bedroom window as so dirty, the view was of a flat roof, no attention paid to keep it nice, whole area needed repainting & a plant pot or two would have been a nicer view. Behind my bathroom sink was thick with dust, burn holes in the carpet & communal areas look very tired with dusty silk or plastic plants! Cheap room, good place for workmans rest but not somewhere to stay to enjoy ambience. I’m guessing it was once a grand old hotel now it’s just an old hotel.

Just a one night stop over after getting off the ferry at 10.00pm. Friendly welcome, lots of parking and a big comfortable room with a bath was just what I needed. Bar was open and again the staff were great. Good choice at breakfast and good, attentive staff. Easy, comfortable and great value stay.
