"Bed was clean and comfy - breakfast staff very friendly but not the check in girl who couldn’t raise a smile."

3.0

I liked that there were kettles in the room and that it was pet friendly

It is a very tired property that needs a good fresh coat of paint at the least!

"Not for me."

2.0

Location is good. There was parking. The views are excellent. The price looks good but you need to consider the cons before assessing the real value.

This is a very tired hotel. The fittings throughout are old and well beyond what people expect today. The staff were helpful but really it requires a total refurb. My room was at the end of a back corridor which was off a corridor etc. I didn’t venture breakfast on the basis of the general tiredness of the building and fittings and went elsewhere. As someone who works in hospitality I’ve seen many hotels but it’s time this one received a total refurb.

"Very Good"

7.0

After reading previous reviews I was expecting the worst, but I was pleasantly surprised, I booked the room just to rest my head before getting the ferry in the morning and it served its purpose. The room was clean and had everything I needed for a short stay. It’s not somewhere I would stay for more than a night but it did the job and wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Really handy that it’s pet friendly with no extra charges for my dogs!

Only gripe I had was the window catch was broken so I couldn’t open the window for fear of my dog jumping out of it, and the room was very very hot during the night so this was a bit annoying.
