Rooms are clean and updated. The beds were very comfortable. Arrived with a flat tire and the front desk staff were very helpful in calling a garage for assistance. Great location for exploring the region.

No Laundry Available
Stayed here for an overnight as part of a larger trip. Hotel is under renovation so exterior had construction and interior of halls mid renovation but room was beautiful, big and very comfortable. It mentions laundry facilities but no laundry available, had to drive 5-10 minutes down the road to do laundry which wasn’t the cheapest. We ended up eating dinner at the Fleet Inn which was about 5-10 minute walk away which was very good.

Decor of the room was a bit out dated and 1990-ish but the room was clean and the staff were great! Food was ok - but the servers and bar tenders where amazing. Good location too.

Lovely short stay hotel
We really enjoyed our stay here. Our room had a wonderful view right over the harbour - we even spotted an otter in the water!
There is a fairly busy road right outside but with the window closed, we barely even noticed any noise.
All staff were friendly and helpful, and everywhere was very clean. I would recommend a stay here!
